Lucy Linger
Writer, Director, and Filmmaker in Oxted, UK
I'm a writer and director working in film, TV and theatre. My first short film Love Lies featured in the short film catalogue at Cannes film festival where my short film script #writerslife was official selection for ShortsTV's The Pitch competition. I featured in their TV programme which was filmed during her time in Cannes, making it to the final five and pitching to a live audience in the UK pavilion.
My latest short film He's So Good with The Baby will be completed in 2019 and is a five minute piece looking at the insidious nature of domestic violence. I have a completed feature film script, Offroading, based on my play of the same name that was well received when it was performed in 2016 - "a terrific combination of humour and pathos... an outstanding piece of writing... So well written by Linger." CBN. This story was inspired by my experiences going through Breast Cancer at just 29. Footage of the proof of concept I shot for it can be viewed on my website, alongside details of her other on-going projects and portfolio.
I also owns a theatrical costume and fancy dress hire shop and run Linger Longer Films, which focuses on character lead stories. We are committed to gender equality, featuring 50/50 cast and crew gender split including at least one female in the camera department. I also run Threadbare Theatre Company, which I established in 2003 and is one of the longest running fringe theatre companies in London. My work has gained national press recognition featuring in Time Out, The Stage, The Independent, and The Metro among others.
