international development + production consulting

international projects, scripted storytelling, co-productions, cultural strategy

 

I am a development and production consultant specialising in premium scripted projects, international co-productions, and culturally distinctive storytelling.

With senior experience across film and television in the UK and United States, I work with producers, writers, directors, and cultural institutions to shape projects from early concept through market positioning and development readiness.

My work includes story development, editorial guidance, packaging strategy, co-production positioning, and navigating projects that operate across multiple territories or disciplines.

I have a particular interest in projects emerging from the performing arts, heritage, literature, and internationally rooted stories seeking broad audience reach.

My approach combines creative judgement with practical producing expertise: helping ambitious projects become clearer, stronger, and more financeable.

 

Research + industry insight

 

Alongside industry practice, I am completing a PhD in Film Studies at the University of Southampton focused on contemporary producing cultures and the evolving role of the producer. I also hold an MA in Creative Writing and a BA (Hons) in Film. This combination of industry experience and research allows me to support clients with both practical delivery insight and a strong understanding of where the screen industries are heading.
