Growing up as an only child in Cornwall, Rebs often found herself writing and watching movies and TV shows to pass the time. Falling in love with writing, she knew from the age of 13 that she wanted to work in film one day.
Rebs moved to Wales in 2017 as a first-generation university student, where she pursued her passion for film and screenwriting Cardiff University. Throughout her studies, she advocated for the LGBTQ+ community as Cardiff University's elected LGBTQ+ Officer, and through her involvement with CU Pride.
Graduating with an English Literature degree in 2020, Rebs had already obtained several credits working within the industry on interactive movies, which she'd balanced alongside part-time work and studying.
Since then, she's worked in the production office and on set as a qualified script supervisor. As a script supervisor, Rebs has worked for the likes of Lucasfilm, BBC, Hulu, S4C, interactive films, and indie companies.
Rebs is particularly proud of her work on set for the hard-hitting trans youth storyline in Casualty and as an LGBTQ+ script consultant on interactive film Ten Dates. Rebs has also sat on the BAFTA Games Narrative Jury and the BAFTA Cymru Writing Jury.
As a writer/director, Rebs has currently made five short films, and is actively working towards her first pilot as a BAFTA Connect member.
Proudly identifying as a lesbian and working-class disabled filmmaker, Rebs is extremely passionate about diversifying the film and television industries, using her voice to tell authentic, human stories that reflect lived experiences. She strongly believes that films and media are the best way of extending beyond language and cultural barriers to educate and inspire people; everyone deserves to be represented on screen.
As a writer/director, Rebs' specialty is coming-of-age stories, dramedies, fantasy, literary adaptations, and interactive scripts.
