Acting · b. 1969 · Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, United Kingdom
Victoria Howell is an Actress, Writer, Director and Producer. Having trained as an actor at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, she began writing to provide material for children and young people whilst running drama workshops. She went on to co-create various film and theatre projects for her students, including three fully staged musicals – after which she graduated to writing for grownups as well! She still occasionally teaches acting, voice and screenwriting.
In 2009 she co-founded Systir Productions, with her sister and co-writer Amy. Together they have created an award-winning webseries, various short films and a TV pilot, while psychological horror feature script, In The Blood, was a semi-finalist in the Bluecat Screenplay contest, and a finalist for their best British feature prize. Their go-to genres are character based horror and sci-fi, with psychological overtones and usually a lot of death… except for that time they created a festival favourite short rom-com with a happy ending! Their proof of concept sci-fi short film AIPA is currently being co-developed with Quivalon.
Vicky has also written and/or directed several – occasionally award-winning – short films and webseries on a freelance basis for various producers and companies. As an actor, you can spot her waving knickers in the BBC’s Killing Eve and getting electrocuted in HBO’s The Nevers – all the glamorous roles! When not writing or showing off, she loves to read and often has two or three books on the go.
