Danielle is an emerging screenwriter with a passion for telling character driven stories about outsiders, which represents the diversity in people that she grew up around in South London, and is reflected in her projects.

Her latest project, romantic comedy pilot ‘Leftovers’ explores being left behind on the dating scene where the options on apps seem limitless and subsequently, the connections are superficial and fleeting. It offers a fresh perspective on modern romance, making it a great fit for today’s audience – particularly single women in their 30’s and above, who might identify with feeling like a leftover, or like their pool of suitors is made up of them.
