I'm a screenwriter and showrunner based in Toronto who's written for series like Hardy Boys, Wynonna Earp, Being Erica, Flashpoint, and Degrassi: The Next Generation. I've written close to 50 scripts for series and won some fancy writing awards but my TRUE passion is to celebrate the job of the storyteller and help writers and filmmakers elevate their story skills. On this channel you'll find a variety of videos from story tips & writing tutorials for writers and filmmakers to videos that tell the Story Behind the Story of classic movies like 2001 and The Godfather. I hope you enjoy my videos and find some tips, tricks and inspiration to help you along your creative journey.
