About me
Michael is a highly creative and original screenwriter. He tells stories with real meaning and captures characterisation in an exquisite and exceptional way, with a clear understanding of the backbone of any narrative. He has always had a passion for films and performing arts, and draws on past experiences to underscore his screenplays with a strong, genuine theme. He started his career as a comedy sketch writer, but quickly adapted his ideas into a new direction of drama/psychological drama. Michael’s unique style and low-budget approach to screenwriting is an ideal match for the independent film market.Additional information:
