I've always loved writing, but lacked the confidence to pursue it as a career.
I love all the arts: visual, literary, performance. I'm really not sure why it took me so long to realize film is the ultimate combination of these.
As a newcomer to screenwriting, I don’t have any awards or film credits hidden furtively in my kitchen cupboard. All I have is a keyboard and some ideas, and a hope that one day those ideas will come alive on screen.
I used to write short stories. After watching Another Earth, I realized films can offer that same intimacy and honesty, so I began to write screenplays instead.
Independent films are so important in a world where commercialism rules, and I hope my work offers something visually and mentally stimulating, as well as entertaining.
