Silvia and Alexandra met when Silvia was volunteering at a film festival in Milan. A few years later, Silvia moved to London to begin her life in film and television as a script supervisor. Something she is passionate about.

In 2017 Alexandra asked her to be Scripty on her feature film Widow's Walk but that doesn't seem to have held her back. Since then she's worked on Vita and Virginia, Supernova, Call the Midwife, Killing Eve and Atlanta.

If you love making lists and have an eye for detail like no other for the job of continuity, listen to how Silvia got started and how showing initiative and Googling can sometimes be the answer to your questions.
