Their pilot scripts for several other projects have placed in local and international competitions, including most recently Grunts in The USA’s Tracking Board Launch Pad Pilots Competition.
In additional to their joint projects, Jessica is writing for a number of television dramas, including the International Emmy Award winning series Nowhere Boys and top-rated The Secret Daughter. She graduated from UCLA’s Professional Program in Screenwriting in 2012 and was nominated for the Nate Wilson Award for Most Promising Student. Jessica script edited the independent feature The Caretaker which has been awarded Best International Feature at Buffalo Screams Horror Fest, Best Feature at Seattle True Independent Film Festival and Best Feature at DC Independent Film Festival, Washington.
Eloise has written for a broad range of television dramas, including the awarded Doctor Blake Mysteries and new hit The Secret Daughter, as well as the internationally screened Winners and Losers and Home and Away. She’s worked extensively in the industry both in-house and as a freelancer, and has credits as a writer, script editor, story editor and in development. In 2013 Eloise’s TV project Dirty Hearts was a semi-finalist in the USA’s Industry Insider TV Pilot Competition.
