David & Lizzie

 Deb has been writing from a young age. She started off writing poetry and lyrics and as she grew older she moved into short stories. It was obvious that Deb had talent for writing as she always got good grades for her writing at school. Through college and university Deb lost her love for writing, but a playwriting module in her third year of university inspired her to pick up the pen again. She successfully auditioned for the module, and wrote a 50 minute, 1 act play about the British justice system which was inspired by her summons for jury duty aged 20. The module reminded Deb how much she enjoyed writing, and she took it up again in her spare time after graduating from university. Deb was inspired to write David & Lizzie after taking part in a short film written and produced by actor Craig Fox: the film being called The Last Conversation. Deb originally wrote David and Lizzie as a prequel to The Last Conversation and asked Craig Fox to be involved again. He declined the offer but wished Deb all the best in creating a new screenplay about an online conversation. Due to her respect for Craig's film and his writing, Deb rewrote her script to not reference The Last Conversation, whereby creating an entirely new situation with new characters.
