Are you writing a script? Novel? Building your filmmaker brand? Dream of living a creator life?
Maybe you've already made a few films - written a few scripts -- that fell short of the attention you wanted. Maybe your career focus has changed. Or perhaps you haven't made a film yet. Regardless, now is the perfect time to get focused. And here's how I can help you.
I not only teach you to write profound stories using human psychology, I guide writers & filmmakers from development through premiere - successfully and purposefully-- as they build their brand and career.
My strength is the ability to develop a thematically complex and layered story that can advance your career.
I have helped young filmmakers with no writing experience win writing festivals. I have guided young filmmakers from development to festival, helping them build projects that advance their careers and move them forward. I have directed inexperienced actors in roles that win them awards and attention.
There are so many layers in a story, and so many jobs on a film set. Understanding what each position entails, and how they work together is key to a smooth production. Dawn (pictured left) participates in a G/E training program at Manhattan Beach Studios (where The Mandalorian is shot).
One is funny, but not as funny as five very different mimes, one of whom has a serious attitude problem. The writer of this short hadn't originally included a mime, but when I suggested five, she looked surprised. She thought one was enough. Not in a comedy, I said. And these mimes need to play a role in the scene. They need to help create the scene and give it impact. It's all about the layering. Our smallest (and youngest) mime really helped round out the motley crew.
