About me
I've been bouncing between creative producing and screenwriting for the last 35ish years. I enjoy collaboration, and I love bringing my narrative toolbox to help other people tell their stories.
Proficiencies & skills
Screenwriter
I specialise in guiding the audience experience, giving them what they want while also exceeding those expectations. I'm also good at the 'pagecraft' part of writing, using the words on the page to evoke a cinematic experience in the reader's mind.
Story consultant
I've been asked into a lot of writers rooms and read a lot of draft screenplays, to use my experience and storytelling tools to help other creatives tell their stories as compellingly as possible.
Creative Producer
Having worked in Hollywood studio and indie, Chinese, and Aotearoan film industries, I get how the business side of the business works, and I can help with development, packaging, and international partnerships.
