TV and Film Scripts
Once I discovered that TV writing was a thing, I did whatever I could to learn the craft including spending a year in the US. Ideas to pilot are always the toughest but a few of my spec scripts have met with some success in competitions and hopefully there will be more to come!
My scripts are one hour dramas and range in themes from women's empowerment, to refugees and immigrants, social justice, the greater good vs the current dilemma, those in the performing arts, the power of fear and the fight to do the right thing in the worst of circumstances.
