Dear Twine Team, I would like to apply for this short-term mentoring opportunity as a screenplay writer and story consultant. I am a filmmaker, writer and author with over twenty years of experience in storytelling across film, television and publishing. I have written and directed numerous documentaries and narrative-driven projects for major broadcasters, and I am also the author of several books and practical guides published by established publishers. This dual background has shaped my approach to storytelling: combining strong narrative structure with clarity, pedagogy and adaptability. Throughout my career, I have regularly worked on transforming personal stories into structured, pitch-ready narratives. As a director, I am used to collaborating closely with creators, visual artists and non-professional writers, helping them articulate their vision, strengthen character arcs, refine pacing and translate intuitive ideas or drawings into coherent scripts that can be produced. This project particularly resonates with me because it sits at the intersection of mentoring and creation. I am comfortable reviewing existing material (story drafts, visual references, drawings), identifying the narrative potential, and guiding the creator step by step toward a professional screenplay format adapted to animation. I pay close attention to rhythm, visual storytelling, dialogue economy and scene transitions, all of which are crucial in animated projects. I have a strong command of screenplay structure and industry standards, and I am used to delivering clear, actionable feedback within tight deadlines. A one- to two-day timeframe is entirely compatible with my working method: focused, collaborative and efficient. I can deliver a polished draft ready for agent submission, while ensuring the creator fully understands the narrative choices made. I work fluently in English and French, am fully comfortable working remotely, and regularly collaborate with international teams. I also have experience using screenplay software and adapting scripts to different production constraints. I would be delighted to discuss this project further and to support the creator in turning their personal story into a strong, professional animated screenplay. Kind regards, Kareen Perrin Debock…Dear Twine Team, I would like to apply for this short-term mentoring opportunity as a screenplay writer and story consultant.
