BIOGRAPHY
I'm a screenwriter with a twin passion for psychological thrillers and human interest stories. Over the course of my career in film and TV, I've collaborated with directors such as Joel Schumacher and Jaume Collet-Serra and developed projects with production companies including Kudos, Big Talk, Bedlam and BosBros, as well as the BFI. In recent years, I've written Episode 3 of the Channel 5/Netflix thriller THE TEACHER (2022), starring Sheridan Smith, which achieved C5's highest figures for a commissioned original drama across its run, and the finale of LOVE RAT (2024), with Sally Lindsey and Neil Morrisey. In feature film, I wrote THE ZIGZAG KID (with director Vincent Bal), an adaptation of the award-winning novel by David Grossman, starring Isabella Rossellini, which premiered at Toronto in 2012 and went on to win multiple awards on the festival circuit.
In 2022, I was selected for the prestigious ‘VP Futures’ scheme, alongside producer Andrea Miller, to shoot a short film using virtual production. With mentorship from ILM and Epic Games, our project The Surreal Life was one of two to be chosen for production and starred Olivier-nominated Jamael Westman (The Essex Serpent) and Ross Tomlinson (Richard Eyre’s Allelujah).
I'm currently developing features and TV projects with Sky and Kudos, among others. Meanwhile, in a parallel career, I've also been a teacher and script consultant, reading scripts for Universal Pictures, the Works, and the BFI and working extensively with new writers to help develop their projects. I've taught at the London Film School, London Film Academy, and have been a senior tutor at the Met Film School, where I spent three years leading the BA in Practical Filmmaking. I am also a regular speaker at the London Screenwriting Festival. I'm represented by Independent Talent in the U.K. and by Gersh and Elevate Management in the U.S. As well as being a writer, I also moonlight as a musician, recording under the name Summerheads. Our latest release, State of Shock, is available now on Apple Music and other platforms.
