Films
Her first film, Lady Godiva, an updated version of the legend, was filmed in Oxford and Carcassonne instead of the traditional Coventry after Jewson raised money from friends to fund making it. It was released in January 2008 and panned by critics. On 19 May that year, coinciding with the film's release on DVD, Jewson organised a charity fund raising event for Maggie's by sponsoring women to ride naked or almost naked through London's Hyde Park. Jewson's following film, Born of War, a thriller, was co-written by Jewson and Rupert Whitaker and released in 2015. In January 2018, Jewson's Close, based on the life of the female bodyguard Jacquie Davis, was released and picked up by Netflix. It stars Noomi Rapace and Sophie Nelisse. Jewson again co-wrote the script with Whitaker, to whom she is married.
Awards
In 2006, for her work on Lady Godiva, Jewson won the Arts, Media and Culture category of the first Woman of the Future awards.
