IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE SCREENPLAY
Script Consultant
Because a better screenplay makes a better film.
Tailored support at every stage of the screenwriting process
I come from editing — the film’s third writing process. Structure, rhythm, tension, silence, breathing space, points of view, details, the precision of dialogue… I know what a screenplay goes through, what it needs, and what it can shed in order to become stronger without losing its uniqueness.
With over 20 years’ experience in film editing and script consultancy, I bring my knowledge of screenwriting and audiovisual storytelling to the service of the narrative. I work closely with the writer, from within the screenplay’s own ecosystem, to refine and strengthen the film’s narrative, structural and emotional qualities. Each session leaves the writer with a clear understanding of what needs rewriting, why, and how to approach it.
I work with established and emerging screenwriters and writer-directors looking for precision and a professional perspective; producers seeking a polished screenplay to make a stronger case for their project; creatives looking to unblock, expand or deepen their creative process; and aspiring screenwriters wishing to develop their craft through their own project.
