Crafting stories from concept to page
While studying film in college, I wrote a number of scripts that were intentionally simple, experimental, and made with learning in mind. Looking back, they're rough around the edges but they represent an important stage in my development as a writer.
College helped me understand the fundamentals of scriptwriting: structure, character, dialogue, and the joy of turning an idea into something tangible. More than anything, it taught me that writing scripts is fun, especially with other people and is something I want to continue working on in the future.
The following projects were all part of that learning journey:
A more self-aware, concept-driven piece that focused on structure and dialogue. It was an exercise in shaping an idea before fully knowing what it wanted to be, by adding to it in small sections overtime with subsequent projects.
A playful take on the classic 90s cop-show format, leaning into genre tropes, comedy, and action. This script was about understanding rhythm, banter, and how familiar formats can be twisted for humour.
A surreal, comedic idea built around an end-of-the-world scenario in an unexpected setting. This script allowed me to experiment with tone, absurdity, and escalating stakes.
