TESTIMONIALS
Here’s what some people I’ve worked with say about me…
JESSE ARMSTRONG - Creator, Succession. Co-creator, Peep Show, Fresh Meat
“Izzy Mant has exactly what you need in a script editor, a kind heart but a sharp eye. Would recommend. Five stars.”
SAM BAIN - Co-creator: Peep Show, Fresh Meat. Creator: Ill Behaviour
“Izzy is one of the best producers I’ve worked with, particularly on scripts – her notes are always smart, incisive and often transformative.”
LAURA SOLON – Co-writer: Back to Life. Writer: Let It Snow (Netflix), Office Christmas Party (co-writer). Perrier Comedy Award winner
“Working with Izzy is a very good idea. She’s brilliant at story and structure, her notes were incredibly thoughtful and helpful, and with her producer background, you are getting an editor who intuitively understands what works on screen. Cannot recommend enough.”
BEN ASHENDEN & ALEXANDER OWEN - Creators: Bill's Included (BBC1 - forthcoming), The Comeback (West End play), The Pin (BBC Radio 4). Writers: Deep Cover (Amazon)
“Working with Izzy is a joy. She marries deep structural knowledge with years of top level producing expertise for that ideal combination of Theory and Practice. She’s also just very funny and a joy to hang out with, so wears all that erudition lightly and makes development FUN!”
ROISIN CONATY - Creator: GameFace (Channel 4) & multi award-winning comedian
“Izzy has a brilliant comedic sensibility and gave incredibly astute and helpful script notes when she was producing GameFace. Highly recommend.”
KIRBY HOWELL-BAPTISTE – series regular in Killing Eve & The Good Place, writing projects in development
“Working with Izzy was nothing short of a revelation. Izzy comes onto a project with positive energy, helpful notes and an eye for structure that I have never experienced before. From our very first meeting I knew that Izzy was a person that I will work with forever… if I’m lucky.”
ROBIN FRENCH - Co-creator: Cuckoo, Trinity. Plays for Royal Court, Almeida & RSC
“Izzy was such fun to work with on Series 5 of Cuckoo. Her notes were always really insightful, asking laser-focused questions which helped unlock the story.”
KIERON QUIRKE - Co-creator: Cuckoo, Trinity. Creator: Defending the Guilty
“Izzy’s a sensitive and intelligent script editor who’s a delight to work with”
DECLAN CROGHAN - creator: The Body Farm (BBC), Life of Crime (ITV). Writer on Vikings-Valhalla (Netflix)
“Izzy was dramaturg and director of my first play, on the London fringe. What was truly amazing was how Izzy encouraged me. She treated the work and me with real respect. Through a couple of drafts, Izzy brought out elements and nuances in the work that improved it and brought it to a place where it could stand on the stage. People have often asked me how to get started in the business. I have always said you need someone who sees your writing, sees you, and champions you. I have been very fortunate to have had a number of champions of the work along the way, but Izzy was the first.”
Dionne Farrell - Head of Development, B Side Production
“Izzy worked with us as a Script Consultant on a workplace comedy we’re developing, and her involvement has been immeasurable. She worked closely with the writer, challenging the scripts with a real positive, can-do attitude, and through the process, helped us to wrangle it into a really confident structure and sharpen the characters and their comedic engines. A joy to work with all round!”
