During her residency, Dee Meaden is writing the first version of her psychological horror film "WOMEN AND CHILDREN." The film explores the idealized or sanitized notions that define mothers as nurturing and children as charming, gentle, and innocent. It seeks to explore how we dehumanize those who deviate from our restrictive notions of what they should be and how societal expectations make us perform and dissociate from our true selves.
The story follows a mother who fears there is something inherently sinister about her withdrawn teenager, but ends up realizing that it is she who is capable of great brutality—freeing herself from the restrictive idea of what they both should be.
As part of the development process, Dee works in collaboration with her partner Ollie Verschoyle, a cinematographer, to create images that evoke the world, tone, or characters of the project. Ollie will be present during the last part of the residency.
Dee Meaden is a London-based screenwriter/director with over 20 years of experience. In 2018, she graduated with a Master's degree in fiction directing from the National Film and Television School, but previously trained in sculpture at the Slade School of Fine Art and the Chelsea College of Art and Design. She achieved success as an artist before transitioning into narrative film. She has written five original feature film scripts and has written and directed twelve short films.
Her debut feature film, "Dam the Blood," is currently in development with the BFI, and she has already been selected for programs run by Creative England, The British Council, and Film London. In 2021, the script for her feature film "Incandescent" was developed by the TorinoFilmLab. Dee is also extensively experienced as a director and producer of commercials and as a cinema teacher. She is currently developing several projects and is represented by Ellen Gallagher at Casarotto Ramsay & Associates.
Ollie is a cinematographer with over 15 years of experience in a wide range of commercials, documentaries, and fictions. He has shot for Channel4, BBC, Sky, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Disney+, with his work showcased at major international festivals such as Warsaw International, BFI London Film Festival, and SXSW. Whether shooting highly styled and planned films or works that require a much more instinctive and spontaneous approach, he is always guided by an emotional connection to storytelling.
