ABOUT
I embrace the fact that I am a mature female - from a working (underclass) background - who is disabled and has graduated from the 'school of hard knocks' - and has, as a consequence, a thing or two that I want to say.
Last year I completed the BBC Voices mentorship programme (with Simon Nelson) developing a series treatment and this year I am excited to be working with the BFI (Early Development Fund) film executives - on the treatment of my first (Crime thriller) feature film.
I now have a number of scripts under my belt and would like to start building relationships (working) with partner production companies.

“Your setting is fascinating and very colourful.
You've certainly not been afraid to go your own way and to explore some challenging, tough areas”
Sarah Garrett

“There's a delicious dark comedic tone in this scene and a strong authorial voice. You're in command of your medium."
