We are so excited about their combined credits, including producing the acclaimed ‘The Street’ television series and writing credits including Doctors, Eastenders, as well as shorts that have sold to HBO. The list goes on. Meet this talented duo as they share their industry insights and tell you about a few exciting projects they have coming up.

Introducing

Nick Reed: Writer & Director

Nick started life as an actor then moved into writing computer games and TV – including Doctors, _MG_6418Eastenders, Peak Practice, Byker Grove and The Belfry Witches. As a writer and director his comedy short films have screened worldwide at festivals and sold to Canal + and HBO (oh, that was the porn) and have included Tom Hollander, Ewen Macintosh, Simon Day and Annabelle Apsion.  He wrote and directed the play Life Coach at Trafalgar Studios with Phil Jupitus in the lead role, which he’s developed as a screenplay for Sam Mendes’ company Neal Street. He’s just directed a comedy play on the fringe to great reviews and written a new comedy play which he’ll be directing in 2014.  With Phil Jupitus he judged the comedy challenge on I’d Do Anything and does the odd bit of coaching for comedians and actors – both one on one and for Drama Studio, London and Florida University.
