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).

In 2023, Cathriona was selected for BBC Writersroom Voices, where she developed her drama TV Pilot, EATER.
