Films

I’ve worked with dozens of different studios and production companies – in Hollywood, Bollywood, Europe, Australia and the UK. (Usually as a writer, but occasionally in other crew capacities.) I enjoy collaborating, I’m reliable and I work well to tight deadlines. You can find my film and TV credits on: IMDb  Please see below for details on how I can help with your film:

Producers & Directors – What to do when you have a story idea but no script that does it justice.

You have:

• A compelling true story, article, life rights, or original concept
• A clear sense of tone, genre, or audience
• Possibly cast interest or early development conversations
• A production company ready to move

But:

• The script doesn’t exist yet
• Or the draft you’ve received isn’t landing
• Or you can’t find a writer who understands both story and production realities
• Or the development process is dragging without clarity

A strong idea is not enough. You need a writer who can translate vision into a structurally sound, emotionally compelling, production-ready screenplay. I can help.

How I Support Producers & Directors in creating a script from an intial idea

• Translating your concept, IP or life story into a clear cinematic framework
• Developing logline, treatment and step outline before drafting
• Building a strong structural spine (acts, reversals, stakes, escalation)
• Creating layered, castable characters
• Writing sharp, purposeful dialogue
• Shaping scripts with budget, tone and market positioning in mind
• Delivering clean, professional drafts on schedule
• Collaborating closely to ensure your vision remains central
• Providing rewrite drafts that respond strategically to notes

I don’t just write pages. I help you shape a film that can attract talent, finance and momentum.

Imagine This

Within months, you have:

• A fully realised screenplay that reflects your original vision
• A tight logline and treatment ready for investors or talent
• Characters actors want to play
• A draft strong enough to move development forward

Instead of circling an idea, you’re holding a script that opens doors.

Let’s bring your story to life — properly, strategically, and powerfully.

Producers & Directors – You started working with an existing script. And the story simply isn’t working.

It happens more often than anyone admits.

Whether you’ve started filming it or not – You may be facing:

• A script that looked fine on paper but falls flat on screen
• Structural issues that only became obvious in production
• Performances that don’t align with the emotional arc
• Missing stakes or unclear character motivations
• A third act that collapses
• A film in the edit that feels disjointed
• Investors asking difficult questions

You don’t need blame. You need solutions.

When production is underway, or footage already exists, the question is no longer “What was the script meant to be?” It’s: “What story can we now tell with what we have?”

How I Step In

• Rapid, high-level diagnostic analysis of the script and/or rough cut
• Identifying structural weaknesses and story gaps
• Reworking character arcs to fit existing footage
• Designing strategic rewrites that maximise what has already been shot
• Writing new scenes that solve narrative problems efficiently
• Advising on pickups and targeted reshoots
• Collaborating with editors to reshape narrative direction
• Rebuilding the third act where necessary
• Strengthening stakes, clarity and emotional cohesion

I work calmly, decisively, and without ego.

My role is to stabilise the project, clarify the story, and protect the film’s potential — creatively and commercially.

Imagine This

Instead of:

• A film that “almost works”
• Endless edit tweaks that don’t fix the core problem
• Mounting anxiety about screenings

You have:

• A clear narrative spine
• A restructured cut that flows
• A third act that lands
• Confidence when showing the film to partners, buyers or festivals

A troubled production does not have to become a failed one.

If your project needs clarity, cohesion and decisive story intervention — let’s fix it.
