About me
I'm an experienced Film and TV scriptwriter, specialising in comedy and drama, having studied Screenwriting at The London Film School. I spent several years in Toronto working in the film industry as both a writer and actor and have collaborated with Ryserson Film School & Afterlight Films on several short films. I also have significant experience in writing for theatre and, to that end, several of my plays have been produced in Toronto, London, Brighton and Guildford.Referees:

Additional information:
I'm very interested in the line between absurdism and realism and always challenge myself to write original and entertaining scripts that will engage the audience and make them question aspects of life they may not have considered. I want the audience to leave feeling fascinated and curious. I believe it is possible to produce original, high quality work that can be also be mainstream.
