I MAKE YOUR SCRIPT AWESOME!

Extraordinary script development

I'M A SCRIPT CONSULTANT AND DEVELOPMENT PRODUCER

Developing a series or feature film is a complex undertaking. Competition is tough, broadcasting slots are limited, the target groups are specific, and even with very good ideas, surprising problems keep popping up. Characters work differently than expected, themes get lost, and plot points remain vague.

I can help with every idea to develop a unique USP, to give the story excitement and entertainment, meaning, and above all, to make it interesting for a broadcaster or streamer.

ABOUT MYSELF

and where I learned

I have seven years of experience as a Development Producer at Warner Bros Germany. I have worked on numerous projects for all German broadcasters and streamers. Including series and feature films for ZDF, ARD, Amazon, Netflix, and others. A special focus of my work was the development of international productions and collaborating with international writers and production teams. Together with two degrees in film production at the Medienakademie and Film at the KHM Cologne, I have deep expertise at my disposal - whether it's commercial material for the German television landscape or an arthouse project for festivals.

I have a very detailed and keen eye for structure and plot, but also for the importance of themes and relevance - that secret ingredient that sets excellent material apart from good and ultimately makes the difference between a story being remembered or immediately forgotten. I will bring in ideas and solutions in any genre and format and can even offer to put hands on writing a scene or a character if necessary.

It is my philosophy to develop projects in the interests of the authors and producers involved and work in close collaboration to achieve the project's personal and specific goals and visions. Any Screenplay is always the result of good teamwork and excellent and respectful communication.

“To make a great film you need three things – the script, the script and the script.”

Alfrred Hitchcock

From initial concept papers to complex series bibles - I analyze structure, plot, scenes and characters, make specific suggestions, uncover weaknesses, help improve themes and metaphors, and make each project more exciting, entertaining and relevant depending on its specific goals and vision.

improving a script, proofreading, giving characters life, revealing the conflict and the theme, creating relevance, asking the right questions, deep analyzing arcs and plot structure and rewriting

It doesn't matter what stage your project is—developing a series outline starting with just a few sketches, converting a series back into a feature film, or fixing problems with the story or the characters at any level. I can help you in developing and targeting your show to a specific audience and broadcaster with creative ideas.
