About Ottilie
I have taught and mentored MA level screenwriters at The London Film School, Central School of Speech and Drama and the University of Manchester for the past 5 years .
I am a professional screenwriter with over eight years experience working in television and film. I began as a script editor on Sarah Phelps's Agatha Christie adaptation ' Witness for the Prosecution. My television work comprises four episodes across two series of BAFTA and Emmy-nominated historical drama VICTORIA (ITV/Mammoth Screen) and script work on conspiracy thriller THE CAPTURE (BBC One/Heyday Television/NBC Universal) . I have adapted 'The Curse of Beauty' into a feature script for Riley Keough's company Felix Culpa and have original drama series in development with Eleven Film, Fable Pictures, Seven Seas Films, Black Sheep Films, Longboat Pictures and Simon Friend Entertainment. I currently have a TV project in development with UKTV. In 2018 I was chosen I was part of Series Mania's Writers' Campus, taught by Sarah Treem (THE AFFAIR).

Do you have a kernel of an idea, but no idea how to grow it into a story?
A third draft of film that doesn't work but you can't figure out why?
A world or character you are fascinated by and want to develop into a TV show?
I will listen closely to what is driving you to write. Your unique vision of the world will steer the development process.
I see my sessions as a chance to help you access the most creative, original ideas and solutions to the film or TV show you are writing.
While I am non-prescriptive, I'm laser-focussed on the craft of screenwriting. We will sharpen your tools of structure, characterisation, dialogue, theme and scene-work, to build the most robust version of the story you want to tell.
I am happy to plan lessons and organise deadlines bespoke to each person.
I am also available to coach people who are applying to screenwriting MAs and BAs.

I taught Ottilie when she was an MA Screenwriting student at London Film School. I have watched, with great pleasure, as she has established herself as a successful screenwriter for film and television and as an insightful and empathetic script editor. It's also been my great pleasure to invite her to teach and mentor my recent and current MA students, where she brings her screenwriting talent, current industry experience and her empathetic and collaborative capacities to bear in the service of emerging - and more experienced - screenwriters and their projects. She is great on idea generation and development, characterisation, structure, theme and dialogue, how to build a career and at inspiring and generating confidence in all of those she works with.
Ottilie has been mentoring me and helping me develop scripts for four years now. I have been working on two main projects, one of which is a screenplay which is very personal to me. Ottilie has worked with me on multiple drafts and her feedback has been invaluable, especially for helping me develop the overall structure of the script. She has kept the big picture in mind at moments when I've been bogged down in the details and unable to see the wood from the trees!
She often helps me to ask the questions I've been avoiding, and is both highly adept, and also very kind (!), when getting me to think critically about my work.
What I also love about working with Ottilie is her belief in the worlds I wish to build through my screenplays. This makes it so easy to share new ideas, try things out and take risks in my work.Ottilie is a great tutor, very supportive of her students and always delivering high-quality sessions, full of advice and recommendations, as well as interesting notes/comments about how to improve one's work. She is a dedicated writer and eager to see students' thrive. I absolutely recommend her!
