Amanda Boyle

Having devised a collection of award winning touring theatre shows whilst at Cambridge University, Amanda joined Working Title Films where she helped set up the low budget film label WT² and worked on the Oscar nominated Billy Elliot. At the same time Amanda began to direct her own film work. Her first short led Screen International to hail her as one of  the UK's most exciting new directors and ID Magazine as one of 250 people around the world that might influence contemporary culture; with Dazed & Confused Magazine later calling her a "prodigiously talented British Film-maker".

Since then, Amanda has won an array of international awards for her films. Her credits have included the multi-award nominated Hotel Infinity, Channel 4‟s prestigious Coming Up series and Pop Art which was based on the short story by American writer Joe Hill. In 2008 Amanda was the recipient of the Clore Leadership Programme‟s Film Fellowship, which has led to an exciting new collaboration with the National Theatre.

In 2009 Amanda directed the ground breaking, Rose D‟Or and RTS nominated Channel 4 drama series Cast Offs which was praised in the House of Lords as “brilliant, funny, touching and completely unsentimental”. The following year she was a director on the new season of Channel 4's BAFTA winning Skins. 

Last year Amanda directed the series finale of Sirens for Channel 4, later writing and directing the short film Skirt. She is currently shooting The District Nurse for Sky Arts. Written by Chloe Moss and staring Gina McKee the drama is being produced by Warp. Amanda is also developing her first feature.
