You Have a Story. I Have The Architecture.
You’re not here because you need someone to fix your grammar. You’re here because you have something – a vision, a manuscript, a true story, a film idea – and you need someone who can build it into something the world can actually see.
That’s what I do.
For 25 years I’ve developed stories across feature film, theatre, and live production. My work has screened on Amazon Prime and Showmax. My clients are authors, filmmakers, ministries, and production companies in South Africa, Germany, the United States, Canada, Romania, and the UK.
How We Work Together
Story Architecture Assessment
The starting point for every serious project.
I audit your premise, diagnose your structure, and deliver a clear report on your story’s screen potential – what’s working, what’s broken, and exactly what it needs to move forward.
You walk away with:
• A full structural diagnosis
• Screen and market potential assessment
• A clear development roadmap
Best for: Authors, speakers, and founders who need clarity before committing to full development.
