Vicky Jewson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vicky Jewson (born 18 September 1985) is an English film director.

She was born in Oxford, where she still lives and where she has long term plans to establish a film studio.

Jewson's first full length feature film Lady Godiva for which she also wrote the script, was released in 19 cinemas nationwide on 25th January 2008. Initial reviews in The Times ("monumentally dreadful"), The Observer ("trite, stilted, embarrassing"), The Guardian ("anodyne"), Time Out ("There’s no getting away from the fact that the film is awful"), Yorkshire Post ("a collection of tired clichés"), Oxford Mail ("weak, confusing and childish"), Viewlondon ("an embarrassing disaster on almost every level"), Channel 4 ("relentlessly awful"), Filmknitter ("whoever decided to fund this amateurish project deserves to be shot") and Screenjabber ("I wish everyone involved in this film a short career and a long, painful illness... it's not possible to make a worse film than this") were not entirely complimentary.

On 19 May 2008, Jewson organised a charity fund raising event involving 50 women riding as Lady Godiva through London's Hyde Park.^[1]^[2]
