After moving to my role as Development Assistant at Viv Loves Film, I have relished the chance to get involved with a side of media production that I knew little about. In my current role, I am responsible for managing over 50 authors in order to produce screen adaptations of their book titles. This means I receive all contact with them over email/video calls, collaborate to produce pitch decks and plan how best to develop their books into screen/stage projects. In addition to this, I also compile 'shopping lists' for clients at streamers and production companies based on their interests and requests, as well as being a first point of contact. I also created the company 'Bookography' (a catalogue of titles) and have experience in writing press releases and draft contracts. As an ongoing responsibility, I scout books for potential representation with a view to producing an adaptation. I also assist the CEO on a daily basis through diary management and bookings.
My ambition is to work within a production company in a similar role (as a Development Executive), directly working on developing film/TV/stage ideas from conception to production. Due to my degree background, I am especially interested in factual production (specifically those with environmental aspects), but I am excited to work in any area in truth!
Also interested in film scouting, production roles and script development with experience gained from my prior roles.
