In a career spanning four decades as screenwriter, I have advised on numerous scripts and, through detailed discussion of structure, theme, character, dialogue and film language, helped many writers/filmmakers revitalise their screenplays.
I have given classes at the UK’s National Film and Television School and for the Media Pro Masters’ Degree in Screenwriting at Madrid’s Complutense University as well as mentoring up and coming Eastern-European screenwriters at ScripTeast in Poland. I believe the best feedback should be rigorous and honest but always resolutely constructive in helping the writer or filmmaker to understand their own vision and the steps they must take to achieve its best possible expression.
