My name is Ishbel Ewing and I'm a 19-year-old scriptwriter, background actor, and production assistant from Kent, England. For the last few months, I have been writing short films alongside editing scripts for amateur production houses.
This year, my goal is to gain practical and technical work experience on film sets. The COVID pandemic, as I can imagine with many of us, prevented me from obtaining this knowledge. Furthermore, I have started entering my scripts into competitions, rewriting old projects, and completing filmmaking courses in order to perfect my craft.
I am a graduate of the 2020-2021 BFI Film Academy and hope to use this connection to further network within that community through their internships and programs.
I'm so excited to explore this community, connect with new people, and perhaps gain an audience that finds as much joy in my projects as I do making them!

Welcome to the community, Ishbel Ewing. "This year, my goal is to gain practical and technical work experience on film sets." That's a great goal. I've heard it's really helpful to be on set, learning hands-on.
