Richard’s main passions are literature and film. Having been awarded a Masters Degree Distinction in screenwriting from The University of the Royal Holloway, he has written a number of screenplays. He specialises in drama and comedy drama, though recently has written some hard hitting ‘Brit-Grit’ scripts. He is also a novelist, ‘promising’ poet, song writer and poster artist.

With a BA in Contemporary Dance and an MA in Music, Judith has a lot of multi-arts experience (see also Judith’s multi-arts project gyroscopic.org). Her work in front of the camera stretches from a long stint in BBC Casualty to a well-watched Ronan Keating Video… with everything else in between. With all this experience she now makes her own films. If you’re lucky enough to find them, she holds mini FilmFests in Bristol and – in 2025 – at Edinburgh Festival
