Script Supervision

For Features, TV, and Short Films

I am a freelance digital script supervisor, trained at Pinewood Studios by ScreenSkills, GBCT, and BFI. I use Skarratt and Scriptation on my iPad and I have a driving licence (25+) and car.

With experience script supervising TV, features, and short films, I have a keen eye for detail, continuity, and coverage. I write thorough reports (facing pages, DPRs, tramlines) and enjoy working closely with other departments to ensure excellent continuity, anticipating and solving issues before they arise with a positive solution-focussed approach. I work with both single and multicam setups.

Through my experience as an award-winning writer, I have an in-depth understanding of script and story, which I use throughout a project - from breaking down scripts in prep, to ensuring important story beats are captured on set.

I have experience feeding actors lines through earpieces, as well as running and training script prompt departments. My line-feeding method ensures accurate performances, with precise dialogue sounding as natural as improvisation. Actors find the experience freeing, allowing them to give authentic, moving performances.

Experience

I script supervised The Jury: Series 2 (ScreenDog, Channel Four), ensuring excellent continuity and coverage across 2-6 cam setups; matching pickups to hour-long continuous takes, all while keeping detailed reports. I was invited back after assistant script supervising series one (Broadcast Awards 2025 Best Original Programme Winner, RTS nominee).

 

I script-supervised Crawley Film Initiative’s TV series ‘Romeo Hotel Eleven’. Plus, I script-supervised ‘Dragged Up Dirty’, a musical drama feature film. I worked as a daily assistant script supervisor for a Disney and Lucasfilm TV series.

My short film experience includes script supervising Sumin Kim's LIFF-selected 'A Certain Night', Brad Whitford's 'In The Bittersweet', Santiago Giraldo Arboleda's Blue Buttercream, and Andrew Walker and Manjeet Gill’s BFI short ‘In the Shadow of Darkness’.

Other film and TV experience includes working as a Location Runner for 'Stacey Solomon's Sort Your Life Out' (Optomen, BBC1) and as a location marshall for 'Pressure' (Working Title).

Training

I was trained by Sarah Hayward, whose brilliant work includes script supervising Enola Holmes, Tom & Jerry, and Vanity Fair. The ScreenSkills, BFI, and GBCT training course was delivered at Pinewood Studios. It covered many aspects of a script supervisor's role from preproduction, to the paperwork, to practical on-set practice at keeping continuity.

I also completed Brighton Screen and Film School's 'Introduction to Filmmaking' evening classes, where I learned film theory and practical camera skills.
