Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Wyllie is a freelance screenwriter and film director from Derbyshire with over a decade of professional experience crafting scripts, producing short films, and providing script analysis. He holds a BA in Creative Writing and Film Studies and an MA in Scriptwriting from the University of Cumbria, and has translated academic training into independently produced projects like the shorts The Underpass (2013) and Oracle (2016). As a self-employed writer since 2010 he combines creative authorship with practical producing and occasional on-camera work, demonstrating an ability to shepherd projects from page to screen. His stint as a script analyst for WriteMovies sharpened his editorial eye, giving writers actionable development notes and studio-style coverage. Based in the UK, he pairs a filmmaker’s creative instincts with the discipline of iterative re-shoots and freelance collaboration. An unusual detail: alongside his film career he lists expertise as a clinical microbiologist on GitHub, hinting at a multidisciplinary curiosity beyond the arts.
