Josephine Rose

Josephine Rose started her film career when she was selected by Richard Attenborough to shadow him on set and in post-production for one of his films. She then won the Oxford University Film Foundation script-writing competition, and the film was made as the university’s entry for the national Fuji Film Competition. Following on from this, she wrote, directed and produced a 16mm short film that was shown as part of the New British Expo at the Edinburgh International Film Festival.

Josephine then spent a number years working with in-house development teams; and as a script editor and reader for a wide number of production companies, including Miramax, Columbia Tri-Star and The Film Council. She has worked on a range of projects, from low budget independent features up to mainstream, large-scale productions.

At the same time, she has been working on her own screenplays and has three in development with producers. She was formerly Head of Screenwriting at the New York Film Academy, and she tutors for Panico at the London Film Academy. She is an elected member of the board for the New Producers Alliance, and she currently chairs their 9 point script development programme.
