I’m Ella Maria Barker, a London-based English Literature graduate and Distinction-level MSc graduate in Anthropology & Documentary Making. I have 4+ years of experience across fiction and documentary production, and I enjoy bridging close textual analysis with the practical realities of production—supporting directors, managing continuity, and shaping stories through strong research and notes. Across my recent roles, I’ve worked as a Script Supervisor, Production Assistant, and Runner on fast-paced sets and independent projects, contributing to scheduling, continuity, and on-the-day coordination. I’m now focused on film and TV script development—strengthening my script reading and story analysis skills, learning acquisition and audience thinking, and continuing to develop as a junior producer/ coordinator in documentary and scripted storytelling.
