I started writing my first screenplay in December 2021 based on the true story: Burke and Hare – The West Port Murders, which has won numerous awards and positive reviews including one from the Cannes Film Festival.
Since then, I have now completed four eclectic feature screenplays (Inside Reach, Greatrex, Going Underground and Rising Star) and one mini-series (Burke and Hare) with each being a different genre.
Multiple drafts have been produced for each screenplay as I strive to create authentic, captivating stories that fire the imagination of the reader.
