Lee Daniel - Screenwriter/ filmmaker
Drama? I was born into it.
My parents were absolute professionals. The neighbours thought so. As did the paramedics, teachers, social workers and police who regularly pulled up outside our house, demanding to be let in.
So here I am. Fate. And drama it most definitely is.
That mix of heritage and lived experience fuels my storytelling: London/ Scotland - outsiders, rule-breakers, and the “ordinary extraordinary.” My work balances rawness with lyricism, exploring crime and community, sisterhood and survival.
RECENT WORK: Filmmaking/ TV
Feature documentary: The Super Responders. 26/27

I am a disabled and an active campaigner for Breast Cancer Now and MetUp UK, bringing the same passion for truth and survival into both my advocacy and my filmmaking.
