About Carole
I've been a full-time screenwriter for the last twelve years, and prior to that another ten while I learned the craft. I’ve worked in the biz at studios and production companies on such films as AUSTIN POWERS 3, THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN and RUSH HOUR 3. In my screenwriting career I’ve worked creatively with the producers of THE LORD OF THE RINGS, THE MISSING, GAME OF THRONES and GRAN TORINO. I also teach an online screenwriting course. Needless to say, I have experience.
My first film, A NEW TOMORROW, a political mockumentary, won the audience award at the Seattle Independent Film Festival. I’m currently developing a WWII docuseries that Netflix acquired last year, and my next film, the single-location thriller AFTERHOURS ‘92 is in development with the management/production company Imperial Savage in Atlanta, was featured at last year’s Cannes and AFM markets, and will go into production later this year. Additionally, my series Ridgeway, a queer dark comedy thriller was about to be pitched to cable and streaming platforms last year before the pandemic hit, and is now in further development with Imperial Savage.
Here's an article I wrote for LA Screenwriter about my career thus far: . Writing samples can be found on my website at: . Credits and projects in development can be found on IMDB Pro: ?rf=cons_nb_hm&ref_=cons_nb_hm
I look forward to hearing about your project, and then discuss how I can help write or rewrite the screenplay. Any project I get involved with will be submitted to Imperial Savage for possible development.
Thanks and best,
