Jessica Romagnoli

I am a freelance writer and graphic designer with experience in Film & TV Development. Born in Italy, I studied Literature and Humanities at the University of Bologna, then moved to the UK in 2014 to study Screenwriting at The London Film School.

After training at various companies, in 2020 I was hired at the London-based production company Paradox House, where I worked as Development Executive until last December on an exciting slate of projects for leading studios and distributors like Amazon, BBC and Universal. We collaborated with major UK / European directors and talent, including Kit Harington (Game of Thrones), Jaco Van Dormael (Mr. Nobody), Julian Jarrold (Becoming Jane, The Crown), Robert Sheehan (The Umbrella Academy) and John Malkovich.

At the same time, I have developed my own scripts, winning, reaching the final stage and gaining selection on 10+ prestigious writing programs including the Script Pipeline Great TV Show Idea Competition, Screencraft Screenwriting Fellowship, Screencraft Film Fund, Industrial Scripts, WeScreenplay, Blue Cat Screenplay.

Both in 2020 and 2021, my projects were selected winners on the Filmmarket Hub UK TV Online Pitchbox. In 2022 I was longlisted for the BBC Scriptworks Writers’ Academy (top 3%) and made it on the Red List on Coverfly.
