ABOUT ME
Suzy Miller is a screenwriter and filmmaker.
Completed Screenwriting MA at Falmouth University. Currently being optioned by a UK production company for a comedy drama pilot and have been selected for a prestigious U.S. writer’s lab in 2023.
I’m a relatively new screenwriter, late 50s, finally having the headspace to shift from single mother to writer and to follow my calling.
I felt drawn to return to the world of script reading and script editing/drama development (I’d worked for Film Four and BBC Films before children) but how could I do that without experiencing writing a screenplay myself?
Taking the plunge in my late 50’s having never written a screenplay, was massive. But immediately I started to get a good response testing out the competition circuit: Quarter Finalist Los Angeles International Screenplay Awards 2019 Holiday Season Competition and Semi Finalist Screencraft Shorts Competition 2019 .
I drew on the world I know, the issues I’m passionate about, let my sense of humour coupled with my imagination take flight, and ran away to a remote place to see what would happen. And now I’m stuffed. Genie’s out the bottle. And here we are.
Recently I gathered local film making talent and I produced the first Short Film I’d written inspired by my mum who has early stage dementia. A comedic antidote to ‘The Father’. Currently accepted into various festivals and a finalist in a few more.
