About

I’m Jemma Saunders (also known in some circles as Jemma Penny).

Alongside my role managing placements for students aspiring to work in film and television, I’m undertaking an audiovisual PhD (part-time) looking at screen representations of Birmingham UK, where I’m based. My interests include videographic criticism, documentary, TV studies, location/setting, and history on screen.

I am also a published writer, with two historical eBooks to my name (one of which is also available in print), a short travel piece featured in The Telegraph and several Readers’ Tips in The Guardian.
