Hello! I'm Iain MacLeod. 

I'm a 2022 Graduate of the University of Chichester in England with a Bachelor's (Hons) in Full-Time Screenwriting.

​

​(Graduated September 2022. Recent recent.)

​

I'm a Screenwriter.

​

And I'm currently looking for Screenwriting work! 

​

I find a lot of movies these days way too dark, gritty, cynical and I feel like the people making them believe they have to be dark or gritty to be legitimised as 'badass' in the internet age. 

Give me a nice fantasy fairytale with a modern twist any day.

​

I'm hugely inspired by Spielberg, and classic Action-Adventure Escapist Films and TV with a little bit more intelligence to them than just punchy-shooty. 

But before all that, I need a job and experience, so please feet up, relax, peruse my site, and if you like who you're seeing and are in need of a writer, I'd love to hear from you!
