AUDIO DIALOGUE PRODUCER / COORDINATOR
Worked with several independent screenwriters coordinating and producing TABLE-READ throughs of scripts as well as audio plays.
With a table read, writers find out early on what works, what flows and what needs tightening, honing or adapting.
With some, I also added Foley and music to enable a showcase version - and have also made some into AUDIO PLAY/PODCASTS.
I organised and coordinated the projects from start to finish; from proofreading and editing the script (or making suggestions) to finding the talent, booking the recording session(s), engineering the recordings, also edited the audio and refined and mixed them.

SCREENWRITER
The universe created itself a new, passionate (some may say, obsessed) screenwriter
I always had a fascination for people-watching and soon found my keen observation of situations, coupled with a highly active imagination, an inspiration for visual story writing. With a keen interest in conversation, discussion, the world of make-believe and a huge appreciation of drama and visual artistry, film/TV were always going to be the mediums to bring this to light.
