CREATIVE WORK
Jamie Rhodes' creative portfolio is a testament to his versatility and depth as a writer. His work ranges from the historically rich "A Castle in England," which brings to life the stories embedded within ancient walls, to "Plant Stories," where the natural world tells its own compelling tales. "Dead Men's Teeth" offers a glimpse into the eerie past through haunting narratives, while "Amputee" explores the resilience of the human spirit. "Gunslinger" ventures into the realm of the speculative, challenging perceptions of reality and morality. Completing this eclectic collection, "The Hill of Life" delves into the mysteries of existence and the intricacies of our connection to the earth. Together, these works showcase Jamie's ability to navigate diverse genres and themes, making each story a unique exploration of the human condition.

CREATIVE PROJECTS
SCRIPT FOR SCREEN
FOLIC ACID
A surreal coming-of-age drama about two men preparing for grandfatherhood on a road trip from Yorkshire to Dusseldorf in the early 1980’s.
The Script Readers selected this script from a national pool, to be given a read-through by professional actors in front of an audience of industry professionals at the Theatre Royal Stratford East.
The script then made it to the last 5% of scripts in a BBC Writersroom submission round. After positive and helpful feedback from the BBC, Jamie was able to develop the piece based on detailed notes from their script readers. He is currently seeking interested parties to take the script further.
