I am a writer and ghostwriter with 20 years' experience working at the intersection of business, technology and entertainment.
Prior to becoming a full-time writer, I was Chief of Staff to the CEO of VERO, Creative Director of J.K. Rowling’s Pottermore, a creative executive at David Heyman's Heyday Films (“PADDINGTON”, “ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD”, “HARRY POTTER”, “GRAVITY”) working across the company’s film slate, served as , co-founded the innovation consultancy Fearlessly Frank, launched some of the earliest iOS apps on the App Store (including a forerunner to Docusign), and worked in-house at Samsung UK in a senior marketing innovation role.
Films I have written include an adaptation of Stephen Fry’s bestselling novel "THE HIPPOPOTAMUS” (directed by John Jencks), “SEVE: THE MOVIE” (a biopic of the legendary golfer Severiano Ballesteros, directed by John-Paul Davidson), I’ve done uncredited script work and rewrites on multiple screenplays and have film and TV projects in development with companies in the UK, US and Australia. I am currently adapting Sarah Moss’s acclaimed novel COLD EARTH into a feature film and producing the project through my production company Corhampton Pictures (alongside Keel Films).
In addition to developing my own film and TV projects, I oversaw commissioning for the VERO x DMC short film fund, greenlighting a slate of short films from award-winning directors including Molly Manning Walker (“HOW TO HAVE SEX”), Charlotte Regan (“SCRAPPER”) and Kibwe Tavares (“ROBOT AND SCARECROW”).
