About me

Freelance writer and script consultant/script editor. Also works as a BFI NETWORK Talent Executive. I'm available to cover interviews, set visits, reviews, features, or provide script coverage or script editing services. I'm also on the lookout for new opportunities and adventures. Previously, as co-director of Midnight Movies, I programmed cult film nights with guests including John Landis, Dario Argento and Edgar Wright, and produced and presented a podcast.
