JODY MEDLAND is a screenwriter, author and playwright whose work is renowned for its strong characters and original concepts.
In 2013, he wrote his debut feature film The Adored, which went on to enjoy worldwide distribution, winning Best Film at the Durban Film Festival in South Africa as well as earning three official selections in Poland, Germany and the USA.
In 2015, he released his debut paperback novel The Moors, and he has been commissioned by several producers and production companies to develop original film and TV projects that are at various stages of production.
Jody’s first play The Unspoken ran for 2-weeks in London to much acclaim before he won a spot on a mentorship programme at the Criterion Theatre. In 2019, his next play The Intruder was showcased at The Criterion Theatre in London, Piccadilly. As was Dead Parents Club in 2022, and an anthology of five original plays, titled Spectrum, was released on International Literacy Day that same year.
Jody is deeply passionate about using plays for training and education purposes, and subsequently runs a series of courses that promote oracy skills to participants interested in developing their abilities in English and drama.
When not juggling his numerous projects, Jody can be found spending time with his family in Devon, or people-watching whilst sipping on a hazelnut latte.
