Hi my name is Lorato, a screenwriter and storyliner and an aspiring script editor currently working as an assistant producer at Diamond Hill in Maboneng Precinct, Johannesburg. My current work description includes but is not limited to script editing, script development, script coordination and raising funds for productions. I graduated from University of Witwatersrand in 2016 in BA (Hons) in Performing and Visual Arts where I majored in Screenwriting and Performance Arts Management. I love collaboration and I am looking forward to collaborating with many of the awesome writers in Stage 33. I often offer to help with the development of scripts for different writers as I excel at script development and avail myself for script consultation at no cost or low costs.
Lorato, it's great to have you here from Johannesburg! Also, congrats on your high honors while getting your BA. Have you always wanted to write? It really seems like a passion for you, so I wonder if you were writing even as a little kid?
Hi Amanda, Thank you. Growing up I used to write a lot of poetry and short stories in whatever book I got my hands on, This was from when I was about 12 but I still didn't know if this is something I would end up doing for a living, I even went through varsity not knowing what I want as much as I was writing still. During my final year last year I kind of got a revelation that this is definitely my passion and pretty much what made me love my degree so writing is a passion for me
