We’re inviting bold, original pitch submissions for review and critical industry feedback from an experienced panel:

 Mo Ali, Susie Farrell, Derren Lawford, Nicola Gregory,  and Joseph Trusson.

​

This session is designed for writers, creators, and producers who want their ideas rigorously assessed by professionals who work across development, production, direction, and sales.

​

Mo Ali — Interested in ambitious, commercial genre storytelling, particularly thrillers and sci-fi with strong cinematic drive, action elements, and—most importantly—a clear emotional core and authentic creative voice.

​

Susie Farrell — BAFTA-nominated screenwriter and broadcast TV writer, co-creator of Hope Street (BBC). Focused on grounded, character-led drama and is well placed to identify what is working in a pitch—and what needs sharpening.

​

Derren Lawford — Award-winning executive with a documentary background, now working across scripted content. Open to a wide range of pitches with a strong emphasis on entertainment value and narrative engagement.

​

Nicola Gregory — Founder of NICO Productions, developing premium film and television rooted in culturally distinctive storytelling. Interested in high-concept drama, elevated genre, and returning comedy with a strong sense of identity and international appeal.

​

Joseph Trusson — Drawn to naturalistic storytelling with indie sensibilities, low-key stakes, and authentic dialogue. Particularly interested in working-class stories and voices from across the UK, with inspiration drawn from filmmakers such as Ken Loach, Mike Leigh, and Shane Meadows.
