Myself and my husband operate under the name Howlett Media, offering top quality video production and photography services. We have experience working with a variety of companies, brands and individuals, have a specialism in music related content, but we love to work with a wide range of industries and individuals. Whether your after interview/instructional/promotional style videos with top quality audio capture, or great visuals/broll set to music, or event/gig capture/music videos, we have the experience and equipment to make your content stand out, and look high top quality and expensive. We also have experience in being on camera ourselves, performing as musicians and presenting for product videos. If you have a project in mind, whether its just part of the process you require help with, such as editing of existing footage, or you're interested in help with the whole process don't hesitate to get in touch to discuss your requirements. We are based in Brighton, East Sussex so for on site filming we generally work within the South East of England, however we love to work remotely when the job allows, for example editing work, or remote content capture that can be managed ourselves and will consider jobs further afield so don't hesitate to get in touch.

I am an award-winning screenwriter, story development consultant, and script analyst with more than a decade of professional experience helping writers, producers, and studios take projects from rough idea to production-ready script. I specialise in emotionally rich, character-driven stories for film, TV, audio drama, games, animation, and branded content. My work spans everything from contained indie dramas and true-story adaptations to animated explainers, murder mystery games, and high-concept genre pieces.

Clients often tell me they value my ability to: • Quickly understand what they are trying to say and why it matters • Offer honest but tactful feedback that respects their voice • Find solutions that are both creatively exciting and practically achievable • Bring a calm, organised, collaborative presence to the process Whether you need a full script, a page-one rewrite, detailed coverage on a draft, or a development partner to help shape a project over time, I would be happy to help.
