Graham Mitchell
Lecturer, Film and Television Production BA(Hons)
I've written TV and film for 35 years before which I worked as an actor in theatre, film and television. I was Lead Writer for Silent Witness (8 seasons), The Bill (10 seasons) and way back in the mists of time, London's Burning (2 seasons). I've also written for Dalziel and Pascoe, Holby, Casualty, Merseybeat, The Worst Witch and many other shows. Right now, I'm developing drama series for Amazon, C5, and Canal +. Film: I've written 3 shorts and I'm developing a feature.
I taught on the MA screen righting course at Leeds University some years ago and I've been as an Associate Lecturer at Falmouth since 2017 joining the staff part-time in 2024.
