My Process
I approach each script by assessing its strengths and weaknesses at the structural level for story,
character arc and theme. From there, I drill down to specific solutions to each challenge. If you don't understand what I'm suggesting needs to be fixed and why, I will give you clear examples and explain the potential solutions. I'm interested in great communication that results in better work. If that means
acting as a writing coach to keep you motivated or veering into teaching to get you up to
speed on technique, I'm happy to do that.
