Head of Development at Altered
Image, and a particularly insightful script editor, Angeli has
recently worked on films including THE GUARD (John McDonagh), I AM SLAVE
(Gabriel Range) and JUNKHEARTS (Tinge Krishnan). She previously worked
with new filmmakers at Pathé, Film4 and the First Film Foundation; works
internationally on features in English, French and Italian; and has lectured in
screenwriting and film and television development in Europe, the Middle East
and Australia. 
Known to many of us through her
brilliant training on the Script Factory and National Film and Television School's
Diploma in Script Development, it was lovely to catch up, and hear her many
words of wisdom about development, screenwriting and filmmaking. It was also
great to meet some new members. Thanks to everyone, both ‘old’ and new, for
coming along!
And on the subject of new members, last
month marked the NFTS’s launch of the Script Development Diploma, as sole managers of the course,
with a brand new intake of students.
To celebrate the ongoing success of
this training – and because we’ve had him in mind as a special guest since we
started In Development! – we’ll be joined for our October drinks by prolific producer, and
Director of the National Film and Television School, Nik Powell. We hope this year’s class can join us!
From setting up Virgin Records with
Richard Branson in the early 1970s, Nik made the move into the film industry
and was Executive Producer and Producer on films including THE COMPANY OF
WOLVES, MONA LISA, THE CRYING GAME, CALENDAR GIRLS, BACKBEAT, TWENTY FOUR
SEVEN, LITTLE VOICE and LADIES IN LAVENDER. He is currently chairman of the
BAFTA film committee. You can read more about him here.
Anyone who has ever met Nik knows he
has lots of stories to tell, so this is set to be a great night. Invites are on
the way.
If you work in drama or comedy
development (at all levels), and would like to join us at this event, or our future
monthly drinks, you are very welcome! Please do get in touch to be added to our
mailing list.
