Film & Television Consultant
Actor · Director · Writer · Coach
Working with actors, writers, and directors to help Story stay alive —
from script to screen.
Current Work
With over 50 years of professional experience in film, television, theatre, and teaching across North America and Europe, I work with actors, writers, and directors to help Story stay alive throughout the creative process.
​
Currently consulting on active productions for Prime Video, Hulu, and Sky.
My work ranges from private coaching and self-tape preparation to script consultation, casting support, director collaboration, and on-set performance work for film and television productions.
Whether working with an actor preparing an audition, a director shaping a series, or a writer refining a screenplay, the focus remains the same:
truth, collaboration, and Story.
