Dee William

Dee recently converted a novel into a feature-length script, ‘Hidden Destiny,’ which came in the top five Hollywood Wind International Film Festival. My journey for telling stories started during my previous studies at East London University in 2009, studying Media Creative Writing enabling me to tell stories through a fictitious world.

Over the years, I have collaborated with like-minded individuals (writers/directors/producers) on various short films that are available on YouTube. Like, Whose Job Is It? Norman, Strings, Free Santa, Deleted and Capture, a Sci-Fi/thriller, was accepted into the prestigious 70th Short Film Corner in Cannes and accepted into Sci-Fi Film Festival. It was nominated for Best Short Film Awards at Screen Nation in June this year. Dee had co-written a feature film, Storm, which is set to be released on Netflix. Dee is currently editing a feature, Romantic Comedy with a Creative Executive Director from Hulu who is based in L.A.   

Dee continues to be one of the few BAME writers who is proactive about his career. This has led me to graduate with a master’s degree at The Royal Central Speech and Drama, studying MA in Writing for Stage and Broadcast Media.
