Hey! My name is Shirley, and I'm new to the community but not to the craft! I hope to be a screenwriter/actress and I currently live in London. Even though I'm working at a nursery at the moment I have participated as an extra in several TV shows, you can find me in the crown if you look hard enough ;)
In the past, I've been in a few secondary school productions, went to acting classes, wrote a few short stories, the usual stuff. I've developed my skills a lot in the past few years and I'm actually writing a script for a sitcom with my best friend, using our creativity and the magic of our friendship to create a good plot and jokes that make you actually laugh out loud instead of just thinking 'that was funny' :)
That aside, I'm also writing a script of a coming-of-age film, much of it focused on the experience of being lgbt+ in a brown more traditional family, something that relates to me very much and also something that I couldn't find representation to.
I'm to looking forward to meeting all of the wonderful people here and creating connections!

You're in a perfect position to write a screenplay that blows the lid off the Nursery business.

Welcome from this side of the pond! There are a few of us here. If you're interested in a networking event, Let's Make Films is holding an event on the 29th of August at Framestore's offices in Chancery Lane. I networked here and got myself involved in two short films. It's a chance to network and learn a few things from industry insiders. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/lets-make-films-august-2023-london-ticket...

You're welcome, @Shirley Cohen. It's a beautiful picture. It looks like it could be a scene in a movie or show.
