Good Posture, a comedy-drama written and directed by Dolly Wells, was released in 2019 and stands as her feature directorial debut in that form.

Wells was born in London in 1971 and works as an actress, film director, and screenwriter. Her career in front of the camera began building across British television, with an early role in the sketch series Star Stories, which ran from 2006 to 2008. She continued in television through the early 2010s, appearing in Some Girls and Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy, both of which ran between 2012 and 2014. These years of on-screen work ran alongside her development as a writer, preparing the ground for the more creatively expansive projects she would pursue.

The clearest expression of Wells combining her acting and writing came with Doll & Em, the Sky Living comedy series she co-wrote and starred in alongside Emily Mortimer, which aired from 2014 to 2015. That project demonstrated her capacity to shape material from behind the page as well as perform it. She continued to take on acting roles across a range of productions during this period, appearing in the American series Blunt Talk from 2015 to 2016, and subsequently taking on roles in the BBC adaptations Dracula in 2020 and Inside Man in 2022, as well as The Outlaws in 2021. Each of these projects extended her presence across both British and American television.

Good Posture itself represents the fullest convergence of Wells's roles as writer and director, allowing her to exercise control over a project from conception through to completion. The film, released in 2019, is a comedy-drama, a genre she had worked within across her television career. Her work in Inside Man in 2022 stands as one of the more recent concrete markers of her continued activity as a performer in high-profile productions.
