Jade Syed-Bokhari // My Story from Singularity50 is Shagability Quotient

Favourite quote: 'Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall' – Ray Bradbury

I write sci-fi, supernatural thriller, fantasy and action; all with an underlying commentary about us and our world.

I’m an alumnus of the London Screenwriters’ Festival’s Talent Campus 2.0, where I was mentored by Lucy V Hay, (author and doyenne of Bang2write) and also of their Advanced Action Screenwriting Lab where I was mentored by Jeb Stuart, (writer of Die Hard and The Fugitive).

I’ve written, directed and produced shorts, written my first novel and am working on my sixth screenplay. My shorts have screened in the Royal Festival Hall and at Cannes. I’ve won Actor’s Table Reads and my short script, Together, was voted best short horror script of 2017 at Wildsound.

I’m an ardent adventurer. I’ve driven on dirt roads through desert to Area 51, meditated in golden palaces in Uzbekistan and clambered along the Great Wall of China by moonlight. I’ve been stranded in the Himalayas, had lunch at the Pentagon and flown falcons in sand dunes. I’ve hung out with Sufis, Shamans and Buddhist Lamas. I also have a PhD in Chemistry.
