Screenwriting
I’m inspired by the real life stories the history books tend to miss, overlook or discount. Finding the gripping, character driven story in recent events that will resonate with contemporary audiences. My style tends towards smart genre fare including, though not limited to, conspiracy thrillers, adventure, black comedy and complex family dramas. You can read about some of my original ideas below.
