Writing
In addition to his performance work, Jamie Campbell is a screenwriter and playwright who specializes in finding light in the midst of dark situations.
​
His work has been called "endlessly compelling" by Oscar-nominee Mike Medavoy. Jamie's screenplays have been produced by independent production companies in the United States and the UK, and his comedy background makes him the perfect punch-up writer to add levity to scripts of all genres.
​
He has been a finalist for a Sundance fellowship, and his produced work spans comedy, drama, horror, and even musical theatre. Jamie has been a staff writer for the cult web series Lunch and Learn, which garnered millions of online views and recently contributed writing to the family holiday feature, Gingerbread Men, which will be released next Christmas from Clearlight Entertainment.
