Vicky Jewson (born 18 September 1985) is an English screenwriter, producer and film director.
Jewson was born in Oxford, where she still lives. She became interested in making films as a child, and took a five-day course with the Oxford Film and Video Makers at the age of 16.[1]
She heads the production company Jewson Film along with producer Rupert Whitaker.[2]
Her first film, Lady Godiva, an updated version of the legend,[3] was filmed in Oxford and Carcassonne instead of the traditional Coventry after Jewson raised money from friends to fund making it.[3] It was released in January 2008[1] and panned by critics.[3][4][5] On 19 May that year, coinciding with the film's release on DVD, Jewson organised a charity fund raising event for Maggie's by sponsoring women to ride naked or almost naked through London's Hyde Park.[6][7]
Jewson's following film, Born of War, a thriller, was co-written by Jewson and Rupert Whitaker and released in 2015.[8][9]
In January 2018, Jewson's Close, based on the life of the female bodyguard Jacquie Davis, was released and picked up by Netflix. It stars Noomi Rapace and Sophie Nelisse.[10][11] Jewson again co-wrote the script with Whitaker, to whom she is married.[12]
