About me
I adore Film and TV development and more generally working with stories, having been mentored by BAFTA-winning producers Emily Leo and Oliver Roskill at Wigwam Films in London for the past couple of years, as well as with Ivana MacKinnon at Stray Bear, and former Head of Development at Bankside Films Pat Howson. Alongside this I've freelance script edited and been an external reader for, amongst others, Mammoth Screen, House Productions, Moonage Pictures, Rooks Nest Entertainment, Bonafide Films and more, gleaning contacts at all the major agencies as well as with directing talent like Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire, Jim Hosking, and Charlotte Scott Wilson.On top of this I've produced and shot a short film as part of the European Commission's Leonardo da Vinci scheme for a music school in Southern France.

Additional information:
I won the 2010 UK Creative SkillSet Screenwriting Bursary and am currently writing a collection of fairy tales including a tale of a girl whose tongue gets eaten – and ultimately replaced - by a parasitic bug.
Fun fact of the day: I appeared on the prestigious TV quiz show University Challenge (and won…inadvertently insulting Jeremy Paxman on air in the process).
