Alexis Howell-Jones  Feature Screenplay Writer 

 

 

On a cold winter day in 1985, 11-year-old me sat down in a dingy cinema near my home town to watch "Back To The Future" - I totally lost myself in a great story, and have been in love with films since then.

​

I've spent my life helping people in need, and my day job involves helping people recovering after suffering life-changing injuries. As a result, I love to write about underdogs and obsessives put under intense pressure, whether in thrillers or historical dramas.  

​

I won an award for a short film script at the British Screenwriters Awards 2015 and was selected for the 2016 Talent Campus funded by Creative Skillset. I've been regularly placing in competitions since 2017 and 2018.
