Senior Lecturer in Media Production and Digital Film
Teaching and supervision
I teach across a range of different modules and I am module leader for:
- Formats and Storytelling
- Introduction to Screenwriting (short-form television)
- Scriptwriting (short film)
- Screenwriting for TV and Film (adaptation)
I also teach/have taught on MA Media Production (Film and Television), Television Studio, and Science Fiction and Fantasy Television. I currently supervise students on both the undergraduate and MA practical dissertation.
Research
My research is focused around scriptwriting and screenwriting. I am interested in representation and cultural identity, and these tend to form the main themes of my work. I explore the notion that issue-based stories can be received effectively through comedy or comedy drama.
I am part of a writer-led theatre company, which produces contemporary theatre performed in non-traditional settings.
My areas of expertise are narrative film, scriptwriting and script editing. I am interested in writing across forms and television genres.
