Helen Iley

Having currently worked in Film & HETV as a Script Editor and Director’s Assistant, I have worked closely with prolific creatives such as Ben Wheatley and with companies such as Lucas Films and Netflix. Now developing my own slate of work, my writing has been shortlisted for competitions through the BBC, BFI as well as most recently being a finalist at Raindance Film Festival with my script ‘Egg & Chips’. I have since been part of a fellowship writing course through their film school where I have developed a feature film now attached to Reclaim the Frame's flagship programme, FILMONOMICS, for marginalised genders creating their first feature film. As a writer, I approach my work with a humanistic approach and hope to continue to write work that addresses social stigmas and how everyday characters encounter extraordinary and emotional challenges.
