BAFTA winning screenwriter available for online lessons in the craft and feedback on your works in progress.

Hope is a hugely talented screenwriter and filmmaker. She’s also worked with me as a mentor and tutor to our international and UK postgraduate students at Screen Academy Scotland, Edinburgh Napier University over a number of years. She’s smart, focussed, direct and encouraging. An excellent support if you are serious about taking your script to a professional level.

Brilliant, caring and inspiring.

Hope is an amazing filmmaker and a fantastic teacher with a gift for helping others understand her work artistically and technically. I am a professor at the University of Colorado Cinema Studies department and teach a course in Edinburgh every year. I have been lucky enough to bring Hope in as a guest lecturer for the course multiple times, and it is always a highlight of the students’ experience.

Hope is friendly, clear and inspiring. He work itself is personal and draws from the locality and she really helps the students understand how she translates her ideas to the screen- which in turn helps them understand how to translate their own ideas to their projects. She does so in an encouraging and approachable manner as well.

I give Hope my highest recommendation possible.
Geoff (Associate Professor of Film Production)

I am a Professor of Film at Exeter University, and know Hope in her capacity as a filmmaker and as an occasional tutor for us. Hope brings a lot of experience to this role, and is a fantastic communicator who combines expertise, focus and encouragement to this work. When teaching on my modules at Exeter University the students have benefitted hugely from her skills, smart and sympathetic guidance, understanding of the film industry, interest in creative practice, and knowledge of what makes a great script and ultimately a film that will excite and entertain audiences. She is full of energy, funny and kind, and genuinely interested in people’s creative work. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Hope has been crucial to my development as a screenwriter, and it's thanks to her brilliantly constructive criticism, approachable and collaborative nature, and keen instinct for what makes a script leap off the page that I now have two projects in development. I couldn't recommend her more.
