Stewart Carry ~ Screenplay Award Judge

Stewart Carry screenplay award judge

A retired English Language and Literature teacher, Stewart Carry spent most of his life in Africa and the Far East, an experience that left him with an unlimited resource of colourful material from which to draw inspiration.

Since 2017, he has completed ten features that include period, comedy, supernatural, and contemporary dramas; a pilot and ten-part comedy series; a six-part sitcom and a miniseries for television. He currently works as a freelance editor and script editor.

Stewart feels privileged to have received some excellent reviews and been awarded various credits for a significant number of festival and competition entries in 2020/21.

Most of his scripts could be described as intimate and character-driven with a lot of focus on why people behave the way they do and the consequences of our human behaviour; often the result of putting immediate needs before common sense and good judgment.


I'm looking for stories that jump out at me, grab me by the throat and drag me along through the story until it ends.


Stewart is married and lives in the UK with Tess and their French Bulldog, Molly.
