Film nerd, and writer of various feature, short film, play and TV scripts.
Including:

'Leverage' a gangster/crime feature script that won a place at the Microbudget Features Advanced Mentoring Lab at last year's London Screenwriter's Festival.

'Recoil' a crime short about a robbery gone wrong which won me a place on an Ideastap Short Film development workshop, and then at a BBC Writersroom short film event.

Short play scripts/ dramatic monologues 'The Hit', 'My Little Shadow' and 'Cleaning House' which won me a place on a Hightide Playwriting workshop. ('The Hit' has also been given a live reading atRich Mix theatre in London.)

'Soft Play', a comedy TV series pilot about the romantic lives of parents with young children. (Acheived top 14% in last year's BBC Writersroom Comedy Window.)
