IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE SCREENPLAY
Script Consultant
Because a better screenplay makes a better film.
Tailored, personalised support at every stage of the screenplay writing process, designed to strengthen the narrative, structural and emotional quality and coherence of the project.
I come from film editing, the third writing of the film. Construction, rhythm, tension, coherence, silence, breathing space, points of view, details, the accuracy of dialogue... I know how a screenplay travels through the filmmaking process while remaining its point of reference. I know how to listen to the story, and to the writer telling it. I see what the narrative needs, and what it can do without.
I bring my experience and knowledge of audiovisual storytelling to the service of the text and the writer, working from within the ecosystem of the story and its singularity.
I work with established and emerging screenwriters seeking precision and a professional perspective; with producers wanting to refine and bring a screenplay to fruition, in order to convince more effectively and more quickly; with creatives looking to unblock, amplify, accelerate or deepen their creative process; and with beginning screenwriters seeking training through their own project.
