ABOUT

Josephine Lohoar Self is a British writer and director working across film, television and commercials. Her first short film, The Fabric of You, was longlisted for the Academy Awards in 2021 and received a Scottish BAFTA nomination.

She has since directed a series of shorts, winning and earning nominations from the Royal Television Society and the Irish Film and Television Awards. Josephine is currently developing her first feature film, the historical drama The Wall Dogs, produced by Weydemann Bros. and Cardel Entertainment, and recently completed post-production on her BFI-funded short Daddy’s Girl.

Alongside directing, Josephine works as a freelance screenwriter and has written for LAMDA, the UK’s leading drama school (The Guardian), as well as for international productions. Her scripts have been brought to screen by acclaimed directors including BIFA winner Sean Lìonadh and BAFTA-longlisted Keeran Anwar Blessie.

She is an alumna of BFI NETWORK@LFF, Berlinale Talents, the Scottish Film Talent Network, and the Edinburgh International Film Festival Talent Lab. Josephine has also served on juries for BAFTA Scotland and Palm Springs ShortFest, because if she’s going to cry in a dark room, it might as well be professionally.
