• ANNA SOUTHGATE

    As a Script & Development Consultant Anna has partnered with the BFI, international TV and Film producers and supported a diverse range of talent – from emerging short filmmakers to Nicholl Fellowship award-winning screenwriters and best-selling authors. She has been a mentor for BFI Network’s ‘New Voices,' Transition Stage Company’s ‘Enter, Stage, Write,' and For Film’s Sake’s ‘Attagirl’ - an incubator for female and non-binary filmmakers. She is a 'Reclaim The Frame' influencer and sat on Euroscript's Executive Committee.

    Formerly an actress, Anna is also an award-winning Writer-Director who has worked with BAFTA and Oscar-winning talent as well as the National Youth Theatre. This broad experience means Anna understands first-hand the different needs of actors, writers, producers, directors - and financiers!

    Anna approaches story as a psychological and structural system. Every character, beat and tonal decision must serve both emotional truth and commercial viability.
