Clare Keogh

reference Script editor based between London and Sheffield, bouncing between gritty northern charm and that big city hustle. Worked with Paramount+ and Netflix, which—yeah, you can imagine—means wrangling pilots, teleplays, and screenplays for projects that actually go somewhere. Been in the trenches since 2010, freelancing as a script reader and editor. Ran my own little script doctor business, the whole nine yards: giving unfiltered feedback to writers and authors who either needed a gentle nudge or a not-so-gentle reality check. Handled scripts and manuscripts—sometimes gold, sometimes not even salvageable, but always honest. Go back a bit further, and it’s the wild west of ‘90s and early 2000s film sets. Assistant director and second unit director gigs, mostly on film and TV productions, with a good handful of music videos and commercials thrown in for good measure. You learn fast out there—how to keep a set from descending into chaos, how to make impossible schedules work, and how to spot the difference between someone with talent and someone just talking a good game. All those years? They weren’t wasted; they’re the reason I can spot a bad scene from a mile away or tell when a script’s got that spark. And yeah, I’ve pretty much seen it all, from diva actors to all-night shoots that turn your brain to mush—still here, still loving it.
