As a starting screenwriter, I was commissioned by Firenze Film to write an English screenplay for an international feature film about Rotterdam harbor barons and the biggest European financial scandal in the 19th century (1879). My background is historian and advertising copywriting. From both disciplines I can quickly and easily empathize with characters and I smoothly write intense and original scenes to tell a layered story. I am now working on my own idea/project that takes place in Miami in the year 2000.
