What I deliver

Writers don't get stuck,

first drafts end up close to final,

cashflow starts earlier.

The fix isn't another draft.

Most story challenges are structural.

I work with the writer to find the story's architecture before a word is written.

This frees them to imagine bigger and better, because at this stage,

creativity costs nothing.

It may take longer upfront.

But it gets quicker to market; saving time, effort, money.

Projects move faster into development and production,

or stall earlier, before they become a cash drain.

Compared to the current process,

for a production company, both outcomes are a success.

Story development — from idea to shooting draft

Script editing — story and scene-level

Development consultancy — for producers and production companies. Balancing artistic ambition with financial and logistical constraints.

I've run development slates and writers' rooms,

worked with established talent and discovered emerging voices;

been on set and in the edit.

I know the whole process from development, through production to post.

That's what allows me to find solutions early.

And when challenges arose later in the process,
I was called in to fix them.

I came to development as a screenwriter and director.

That's where the method came from.

Not just theory.

14 years of building, refining, and delivering.

Story has always mattered to me.

I grew up watching films in Beirut during the civil war.

It was an escape from, and a way to understand, the world.
