I am a story editor and consultant who draws on my extensive first-hand experience as an award-winning filmmaker and screenwriter, and more than a decade as a professor and thesis advisor of screenwriting and filmmaking, to empower you to tell—dramatically, cinematically, and professionally—the story you’ve been dying to tell.
Whether you are in development or postproduction; on paper or on set; working on your first draft or an advanced cut; in print or film; in narrative or documentary; or in motion pictures or stills—I will work with you, your project, and your strengths to capture, refine, and, even, exceed your vision.
My approach is strongly intuitive yet methodical, professional, and individualized. It is firmly grounded in dramatic structure, character development, and visual storytelling.
I will support you to develop the self-confidence, insight, and creative vision you need to see your projects through, along with a toolbox to work with and develop long after the process is over.
In the end, it’s all about you and your work.
