Beth Rowland

Beth is a self-taught writer and director whose work is driven by a commitment to telling striking, culturally relevant stories with authenticity, nuance and a sense of humour.

Beth is a member of BAFTA Connect and Directors UK, and an alumna of Screen Yorkshire’s FLEX programme (2021–22) and BFI Scratch Me (2020–21). In 2025, Beth ranked among the top 5% of applicants for the BBC Comedy Director’s Bursary, and her comedy script BOSCOS was nominated for the Women x Script competition in 2024.

In 2018, she was mentored by Shane Meadows through the process of making a film a month for 12 months. Shane subsequently served as Executive Producer on her BFI-backed short film BURY THE DOGS. The film was produced by BAFTA-nominated Hollie Bryan (Cosmosquare Films) and co-produced by Diva Rodriguez, premiering internationally at Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival in 2024.

Beth’s debut feature, the black comedy HOT HOUSE, is currently in early development with the BFI and Cosmosquare Films. Most recently, Beth became the first alumna of the Warner Bros. x Waterloo Road Directors Programme to be commissioned to direct an episode of WATERLOO ROAD.
