Check out my grades! My work is rated 'FRESH' by critics on Rotten Tomatoes, hit #5 on the Top 10 of most-viewed on Netflix, and scored an 'A' with audiences on CinemaScore (the same score as blockbuster movies Avatar, Avengers: Infinity War & Jurassic Park!)
As a Screenwriter for Hire, I'm brought in at all levels of the development, pre-production and production process. Most often, I am hired at square one to develop, plan and write a new screenplay from a basic idea, concept, story, synopsis, or rough outline.
The rest of the time, as a Script Doctor, this can entail working with an existing draft of a screenplay that requires rewriting, polishing, or editing. Either way, I bring creativity, craft and experience to the table, to deliver an impressive, industry-ready, professional script that's firing on all cylinders!
Because of my mindset as a screenwriter with years of produced projects under my belt, who is familiar with completing and handing in scripts directly to top producers and agents; I always deliver the highest level of work for your project as I know how important it is when you have a one-time shot to impress the decision-makers.
So, when I'm hired to write the first draft (or fix-up your latest draft), I will ensure that your script is delivered at a standard that is truly ready for the big league. When I'm involved, you can expect a script that is above par to rise above the rest vying for the attention of the industry and well-prepared for the next step of sharing with producers, executives, directors, actors, agents, and investors. Contact me today and let's get that green light for your film or TV project!
Please see below for examples of my extensive experience, working on projects ranging from low-budget indies, all the way up to multi-million dollar productions:
Feature Film Writer
What happens when you sit down for a pitch meeting with one of the world's biggest comedy stars / producers - Will Ferrell (Anchorman, Old School, Zoolander, Elf, Daddy's Home) - and he loves the concept for your film, and then says he can't wait to read the screenplay... but you haven't written it yet? No problem - you need Screenwriter Dude to turn your ideas into a script that will make people laugh, for all the right reasons!
Fortunately, when this actually happened, I was called in to handle a 'rush job' and develop their pitch into a fully fleshed-out plot outline for their approval, to ultimately sit down and write a polished, industry-level screenplay, prepared expediently and professionally (and humorously!), so it was ready for the next big meeting! As a result, Will's frequent co-star, the hilarious and talented actress Kathryn Hahn (Step Brothers, Bad Moms, WandaVision) read the script - and she loved it! The project was swiftly optioned and out to directors...
In addition to comedies, my career has involved writing in a diverse range of genres - thriller, action, historical, animation, drama, family, faith, sci-fi, horror, romance, war, biopic, true story and book-to-film adaptation.
For example, I was hired by a movie producer, who had signed agreements with Universal and the Marley family to use Bob Marley's famous songs and lyrics in a screenplay that was 'based on a book of a true story'.
By weaving Marley's lyrics into the narrative to reflect the mood and events happening on screen, I developed and wrote a script that captured this unique concept. The producer was so impressed with the script that he immediately sent it out and was able to attach some serious talent, including Andy Davis, director of The Fugitive, and Woody Harrelson (No Country For Old Men, White Men Can Jump, The Hunger Games) in a lead role!
Without a doubt, it's a thrill and an honor when you hear that your favorite stars and esteemed idols are reading your work. Take, for instance, legendary actor Jackie Chan who recently became attached to a drama screenplay that I co-wrote (with Chan in mind for the lead role when writing it). Now, there's movie stars and then there are superstars like him - with over 200 films under his belt and even an honorary Oscar from the Academy for a lifetime of "extraordinary achievements" in the industry.
Other achievements in my own career include being hired to write a new big-budget blockbuster movie franchise for Capcom, the world-leading video game developer and publisher behind multi-million-selling titles, including Resident Evil, which was turned into the highest grossing film franchise adapted from a video game ever.
Based on Capcom's popular Street Fightergame - the #3 best-selling arcade video game ever made! - I developed this project with the producer who intended to launch an Avengers-style film franchise with many classic '80s and '90s characters from the video game series, as well as newer characters from the latest game. And if you're familiar with the past adaptations of the video game, such as the 1994 film starring Jean Claude Van-Damme and Kylie Minogue; this new film is a total reboot and the start of a new franchise.
And this is just a handful of my recent highlights... I've also co-written a horror that attached the producers of Daybreakers (starring Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill); a family adventure script, co-written after a successful pitch at DreamWorks; an animated movie that is currently in production, co-written with the director, after our script was sold to an Oscar-winning production company; a musical romantic-comedy with songs arranged by a Grammy-nominated producer; a college drama-romance, which was co-written with the film's director / producer and released on Netflix worldwide; scripting a live-action show for the characters of the video game franchise Borderlands; a short film that was scripted for the United Nations... and the list goes on!

TV Script Writer
Opportunity knocked and I was hired to write a TV pilot script for a new action-thriller drama series, starring 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin (The Expendables). Based on a Hollywood producer's single sentence logline, I developed and wrote a fleshed-out outline - which was sent to the TV execs at Viacom / Paramount, one of the world's largest broadcasting and cable companies, and they gave us the greenlight - then I wrote the script for the one-hour episode.
The first draft of this TV script was strong enough that the producer shared it at his big meeting with the decision-makers at the network! Soon after that meeting, I was asked to write three other TV pilots for the network and I worked to develop and write a new TV show with a top notch showrunner - the creator of the hit series Dexter and a co-producer of The Sopranos - who was attached as the executive producer and credited as 'story by' (alongside my name) on the final draft of the pilot script.
Most recently, one of Bravo's top stars brought me onboard to prepare a treatment for a new scripted TV series - a medical drama - which is now being pitched at meetings with the network's top brass.
What's more, I've also worked in the realm of "unscripted" reality TV, developing and crafting TV show pitches for the Executive Producers at Bravo / NBCUniversal! Click to read more...
Script Outline Writing & Planning
Planning or pitching a script? I'm regularly hired to develop and write a pitchable version of an idea, concept or story, and to flesh out the story into a beat-by-beat script outline or beat sheet, and / or a sellable treatment, and / or a narrative synopsis.
For example, I planned and co-wrote several feature film treatments and script outlines with an industry pro who has worked on big-budget mega-blockbuster movies directed by Peter Jackson, George Lucas, The Wachowskis, and Neill Blomkamp!
I helped by brainstorming and mapping out the film's key plot-points into a polished summary, to be pitched and presented to producers and investors.
And if your screenplay is already written, I can turn that into a ready-to-go pitch, outline or treatment, too!
