Short film / Proof of concept for a recurring TV series

The Folkestone Ladies’ Erotic Fiction Club

Written by Sharon Burrell
Directed by Emelie Mahdavian

Three women find their relationships are changed forever when they put pen to paper.

This sexy dramedy celebrates the healing powers of female friendship and Mother Nature. Achingly beautiful, funny and heart-wrenching, stimulating to the eyes, ears (and other, more intimate, areas), the story centres the female experience of desire and desirability, making it an irresistible adult pleasure to watch.

Directed by Emmy award winner Emelie Mahdavian, the film is currently in consideration for a number of top tier film festivals.

Director of Photography, Garath Whyte, is a regular contributor to David Attenborough’s work, with Sound Design and Original Composition by Liz Horsman (producer for artists including Emelie Sandé and Tom Walker, as well as regular contributor to various productions for the BBC, Netflix and Channel 4).

The film stars Olivia Hallinan (Lark Rise to Candleford, Sugar Rush), Tiff Stevenson (The Office, People Just Do Nothing) and Folkestone resident Claire Storey (Call the Midwife, Hollyoaks). They are joined by Bill Ward (After Life, Coronation Street, Emmerdale) and newcomer George Osborne (The Pendragon Cycle).

Recurring TV series in development – script for pilot and episode guide available upon request. Private screener of the short film version also available upon request.
