Scriptwriting & Video Production

If you need scriptwriting and video production, this is my chief passion.

Following a Master’s degree in Advanced Theatre Practice and with a parallel career in film, TV and theatre, I have used my storytelling skills on various projects, scripting fundraising socials videos from brief, directing talent, overseeing production from beginning to end, and being client-lead on the Crisis at Christmas DRTV adverts throughout my time there.

I will work with you from the stage you’re at – whether that be pre-production from brief to produce concepts, scripts and organising logistics for a shoot or managing a shoot you’ve already set up, and then overseeing the edit until final delivery of the video product.

I work with several videographers, one of whom I will recruit for the work. I’ll handle client contact and project-management, so that the videographer can focus on the tasks of shooting and editing.

Shoots always benefit from a second crew member to ensure things run smoothly, quickly and efficiently, so I use my experience to assist the videographer on the shoot rather than recruiting a second crew member – keeping costs down – while ensuring you are happy with how things are progressing, and that we keep to schedule.

Please get in contact to discuss your needs, the scope of the work, and together with the videographer I will produce a quote for you.

Examples of work by the videographer, and further examples of my work as a producer are available on request.

  • £50/hr for scriptwriting. Day rate: £325

  • 2 rounds of amends offered as standard

  • £55/hr, £350 day rate for project-management / work as a creative video producer.

Crisis at Christmas DRTV ad (2024-5) - for which I was client-side project-manager. Creative agency: The Good Agency

Over two decades experience in both the dramatic arts and fundraising sectors have given me a network of freelancers from both with whom I work. Amongst these are BAFTA winners who have worked on series like “The Trip” and Channel 4’s “I am…” who are always keen to be involved in work with social purpose.

Together we can lend high quality expertise and experience to all projects, delivering results that will gain strong engagement and impact.

Crisis’ 2024/25 Christmas DRTV ad creative – driven by me to feature 3 interlocking stories of beneficiaries - when used as part of Google Performance Max has achieved completion rates above 70% both years it has been run.
