EMMA PITT
After being asked at work “what do you really want to do?”, Emma’s answer was to quit her job and enrol on the TV Scriptwriting MA at De Montfort University where she graduated with a Distinction. Her final script was awarded the Media Film and Journalism Prize for Best Project and picked up for development by Red Productions. She was mentored on another project by Jed Mercurio which led to her successfully pitching for series 2 of Critical but the show was axed before her script could reach the screen.
An avid watcher of British drama, her own work favours character-driven stories about ordinary people battling extraordinary situations – usually with a twist. She writes at her home in South-East London whilst working part time for the NHS and is fascinated by procedural dramas. She’s had TV projects in development with a number of production companies and has also written, directed and produced a number of multi award winning short films, which have also had their own broadcast slots on London Live TV.
