TV & Film Script Developer, Head of ProductionLondon, United Kingdom
About me
Highly self-motivated, proactive, ambitious TV + Film Script Developer, Consultant and Producer. Head of Production at MOFILM. National Film and TV School Graduate in Script Development for Film and TV. Script Consultant, Developer and reader for range of individual screenwriters and production companies, including Channel 4, Blacklight Productions and Thousand Films. Producer of multi-platform branded content, with over 9 years’ creating and producing content for leading global brands, from pitch to post production, across TV, cinema, documentary, social, online, radio and print. I am always open to new opportunities, particularly Script Development/ Consultancy or Reader roles in Film and TV, and Production roles across the TV, film and branded content industries. And here's a little more about me: I was born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland, before moving to the bright lights of London to study at University College London. After graduating in Law with French Law, I decided not to take the legal path well travelled and follow my creative impulses. After a spot of work experience at leading advertising agency, J. Walter Thompson, I subsequently worked in client services and production roles at top London agencies such as AMV BBDO and Isobar. In 2016, I took up the role of Senior Producer at MOFILM, working with a vibrant global network of thousands of filmmakers to produce content for the world's leading brands. Brands I've worked with include Pernod Ricard, Unilever, Kellogg's, Chevrolet, ASDA, Volvic, Danone, The National Lottery, Smart Energy GB, Playboy Fragrances, Philadelphia Cheese, Kenco Coffee and Tourism Ireland. While at MOFILM, I studied at the National Film and TV School for 18 months, graduating with a diploma in Script Development for Film and TV. In addition to my role at MOFILM, I currently work as a Freelance Script Developer and Reader, working with Thousand Films, Breakneck Films, and individual screenwriters. In my spare time, I am a keen actor, singer and dancer, regularly performing with London musical theatre companies and choirs. I was a dancer in the London 2012 Olympic Ceremonies; and an All Ireland Irish Dancing Champion in my youth! Participant in Google Squared leadership program (March- April 2013), a seven week course designed to train and develop future leaders of the creative industries, with a focus on driving change and innovation. Passionate singer, dancer and actress, particularly in musical theatre genre. Excellent copywriting and sub-editing skills.
