Scriptwriting for Film and TV

Janet Kelly, CEO

Janet is a highly creative and productive writer who generates words and stories for a wide range of formats including novels, animation and TV and Film scripts.  Her scriptwriting includes a number of full-length features and TV formats.

More recently she has been commissioned to co-write the rom-com film ‘A League Apart’ for Mad as Birds Films with 7T Something. ‘One More For Christmas’ with Studio Pictures Ltd and has co-written two TV comedy drama scripts, Open Mike and Co-Work.

 ‘Grass Roots’  and ‘All Singing’ are further comedy dramas suited for TV serialisation and/or film while Uncle Ralph – a previously untold story about Vaughan Williams letters to Elgar’s last lover – is also in pre-production.

 Janet also works for a number of small producers on a range of development work for Factual TV, non-scripted TV formats, quizzes and documentaries.

 She lives in Brighton with two dogs, three cats and six chickens which occasionally reward her with an egg. She plays alto saxophone in the Saltdean Jazz Band – which she set up as no other band would have her.


What can we do for you?

 Scriptwriting with no upfront fees

Putting together a feature film or TV series can often involve the risk of considerable upfront scriptwriting costs.

We offer a service that creates outlines, bibles, character descriptions and first drafts of full scripts to use for initial pitches, with no initial fees.

Payment is on first day of principal photography for successful projects.

Research

Extensive research experience means we can provide considerable development support to a wide range of projects in both the drama and factual arenas. This can be offered on a day-rate or project fee basis.

Script consultancy

Do you have a script that lacks energy or pace? Perhaps it is just a case of needing another angle?  We can provide a different view and guidance to help bring a TV series or film script back to life.

Janet is a really talented writer with a nose for comedy. She understands people and has a very colourful imagination, working very quickly once an idea has taken hold.  I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with her on a treatment for a new sitcom based on a loose concept of my own. She’s been supportive and responsive, and her rate for creating new ideas is phenomenal.
