U.K. non-profit ERA5050 has partnered with Comedy 50:50 to launch TellHerVision, a writers’ room mentorship program exclusively for women working in comedy. The program is supported by ScreenSkills with funding coming from National Lottery funds awarded by the British Film Institute’s Future Film Skills program. Hat Trick Productions and TimesUp U.K. will participate as strategic partners.
Established to address gender inequality in TV comedy writing and limited access to comedy writers’ rooms facing female creatives, TellHerVision will task eight writers or teams of writers with the creation and execution of a pilot episode for a studio sitcom featuring female characters in lead roles.
Several mentors will provide insight and support throughout the process, including actor-writer-producer Joanna Scanlan (“Notes on a Scandal”), writer-producer Juliet Morrish (“Spokke”), producer and former commissioning editor Michaela Hennessy-Vass and ERA5050 co-founder, actress Polly Kemp (“The Thick of It”).
