  • January Jones, award winning writer, director, journalist

    “I have had the pleasure of reading several of Natasha Le Petit’s screenplays, including The Undertaker’s Children, and I found each of them to be incredibly immersive and was unable to put them down once I started reading. Natasha is a brilliant writer whose command of tension, atmosphere, and character makes her work especially powerful in the horror and thriller genres. Her ability to draw readers into unsettling yet deeply human stories is remarkable, and her scripts demonstrate both originality and a mastery of craft.

    In addition to her outstanding writing, Natasha has been a generous and insightful mentor. Through the WIFT ElevateUs mentoring program, she provided me with exceptional advice, encouragement and support. Her guidance was instrumental in helping me strengthen my own work, and as a direct result of her mentorship, my feature screenplay was shortlisted for the AWG Emerging Writers' Award. I am deeply grateful for her mentorship and cannot recommend her highly enough as both a writer, mentor and collaborator.”

    “I met Natasha through a WIFT Mentorship programme, and we've kept in touch ever since. Not only is she a great screenwriter with a sharp eye for story, but she's professional and has provided me excellent notes on my own work, which I have no doubt will elevate the next draft wonderfully.”

  • Amanda Browne, Undertow Content
