I'm drawn to high concept, character-driven narratives with a focused scope that explore systemic decay and deliver a visceral reckoning for prestige audiences.

A prefer to write stories that unfold like thrillers/suspense and land like dramas - embedded with thematic resonance, but wrapped in a veneer of high-stakes entertainment. I can't explain why, but I feel compelled to comment on issues the world is ignorant or oblivious to .

I spent my life in television production in South Africa doing commercial shows and producing/directing values-based documentaries when the opportunities arose. I developed my screenwriting craft over the years and am I'm currently living in Oman and have now devoted my time exclusively to writing. My third screenplay IOU is complete and I am working on two more: A Beautiful War and Picture Perfect Lie.
