about
Lydia is a Glasgow-based screenwriter, producer, and editor originally from St. Ives, Cambridgeshire, with a professional background in post-production and VFX.
Her writing centres on female-led stories that blend social realism with comedy and emotional honesty. She is particularly drawn to narratives exploring mental health, emotional labour, and the messy inner lives of resilient, powerhouse women.
Her Mum says she’s funny, her Sister says she’s delusional, and she thinks she’s a winning combination of both.
