About

Hi, I’m May Suri, a screenwriter and story development specialist passionate about grounded, emotionally rich storytelling. I’ve worked across shorts, features, and television and enjoy bringing detail-oriented, creative support to every stage of development, from initial beats to final polish. My experience includes supporting working writers, organizing story systems, and ensuring scripts maintain continuity during production.

I’ve been fortunate to receive recognition such as a Shore Scripts finalist spot and placement on the Coverfly Red List. I also assist industry professionals and participate in film festivals as a screener, constantly engaging with new stories and creative voices. Let’s create compelling stories together.

The Worst Choices is a 14-page dramatic short screenplay that follows a teenage girl whose plan to quietly terminate a pregnancy after being sexually assaulted is disrupted when her only ally begins to falter, forcing her to confront the consequences alone. The script explores themes of trauma, autonomy, and emotional resilience through a restrained, character-driven lens. With naturalistic dialogue, visual symbolism, and a strong sense of emotional pacing, the piece reflects a grounded yet psychologically rich storytelling style. The Worst Choices was a finalist in the Shore Scripts Short Film Fund and ranked 7 on the Coverfly Red List for drama shorts in June 2025.
