Cathriona Slammon

Eater

2024 TV Writing Contest - Winner

Cathriona Slammon is an award-winning screenwriter from the West of Ireland. After obtaining a first-class Master’s degree in Filmmaking, Cathriona completed her debut feature script WHAT LITTLE GIRLS ARE MADE OF. Making the finals of the Screencraft Horror Competition, the script went on to win Best Unproduced Screenplay at the academy-award qualifying Raindance Film Festival 2023, and the Golden Script award 2023, garnering her a mentorship with BAFTA-nominated writer John J McLaughlin (Black Swan, 2010). The script has since been optioned by Irish production company Tailored Films (The Apprentice, Bring Them Down, 2024).

Her second feature script, PEEP, a low-budget psychological horror, is almost complete after being awarded a fellowship by the Raindance Film Festival where she was mentored by writer/director/producer Stéphanie Joalland (The Quiet Hour, 2014). She is also finishing a third feature script which explores the tension between self-love and altruism through a horror lens, LOVE YOURSELF ABOVE ALL ELSE. In 2023, Cathriona was selected for BBC Writersroom Voices, where she developed her drama TV Pilot, EATER. This script garnered her a place on the Greenlight Screenwriting Lab 2024, run by Philip Shelley of C4 Screenwriting, where she is completed her second TV pilot, MARY IMMACULATE.

EATER also went on to be named Overall Winner of the Launch Pad Pilot Competition 2024 and was selected for the Meryl-Streep funded Writers Lab US 2024.
