Screenwriting
In 2023, I was the first-ever Australian writer to attend The Writers Lab NYC, where I workshopped my zombie stoner comedy, Apotcalypse. Find out more about the lab here and how Meryl Streep is involved.
With a post-grad in Screenwriting from the Australian Film TV and Radio School (AFTRS) and a Bachelor of Visual and Performing Arts from the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA), for the past decade, I have been developing a number of film & TV projects.
A reader for The Writers Lab and a former reader for the Finish Line Screenwriting Competition, I have a deep knowledge of screenwriting structure, character, formatting and how to make a script jump off the page.
I am available for script rewrites, coverage, feedback, editing and story consultation.
