Scriptwriter for Screen & Stage | Surreal, Camp, Character-Driven Stories | Production-Minded Creative

Role: Writer & Director California Sexy follows a tanning salon client who slips into a hallucinatory white void while, in reality, staff negligence leaves her literally burning; sparking a blistered, vengeful return.

Role: Writer & Production Designer PISSWEAK: The Papier Mâché Man follows a boyband superfan who, upon discovering the group has split up, spirals into an increasingly manic and surreal meltdown.

View Project

Role: Writer "Whore From Polaris" is my first-year film, April 2024: a darkly surreal, sci-fi comedy where a street hooker and an alien escort bond over bad clients, cosmic sex work, and steal a car in a blaze of interplanetary sisterhood.

Member Bio

I am a Bristol-based scriptwriter working across film, theatre, and libretto, currently completing a BA (Hons) Filmmaking at the University of the West of England.

My work is rooted in camp, dark comedy, surrealism, and fantasy, with a strong focus on character, performance, and visually imaginative storytelling. I write for screen and stage, and my practice is informed by hands-on experience in production design, casting, directing, and producing; giving me a practical understanding of how scripts live beyond the page.

I am particularly interested in early creative development: rehearsal rooms, collaboration with actors, and shaping tone and story before production begins.

Alongside short films and feature scripts, I also write plays and librettos, drawn to theatrical forms where performance and text sit at the centre of the work.

Selected projects include:

I am open to script commissions, ghost-writing, script editing, and collaborative development work.
