I just finished watching “The Cutting Edge, The Magic of Movie Editing.” I already knew I needed a good editor. I’ve read a book on it, not to mention books on directing, all hammering home the importance …

Biochemist, MBA, then programmer. Now novelist, screenplay writer and hopefully director. What a strange trip it's been.
Poetic map
I decided, part way through the design process of the story, to have instructions on finding the treasure hidden in a poem instead of a conventional map with an ‘X’ on it. It sounded like such a great idea, but …
The Sketch that Started it all
Below is the character sketch I produced when I first got excited about the Diary of a Contract Killer concept. At first I intended nothing more than a few notes, but then thought to write it as if the character …

“Treasure Hunt” is the name I’ve come up with for my directorial debut. It may also be my …

Writing Backwards
What? Backwards?
What I mean is, instead of writing a novel (or, for me now, screenplays) and then trying to condense my 70+K pile of words into 500-800 word synopsis, then a 100-150 word blurb and finally a 10-25 word …
Atomic Blonde
I recently watched the movie Atomic Blonde. What I particularly liked about the movie was how the protagonist actually carried her injuries along with her for the duration. Much like how in the Bourne series the MC stays injured …
