I'm a freelance screenwriter (PGDip Arts, University of Auckland) based in Germany and working internationally. My focus lies in psychological drama—stories that derive their tension from character, subtext, and the unspoken. I'm particularly drawn to contained settings with a minimal cast, where the narrative pressure rests entirely on human dynamics and internal conflict. Alongside my writing work, I have experience integrating AI into creative development processes, supporting efficiency without compromising narrative integrity. I'm fluent in English and experienced in writing original screenplays in English. Samples are available upon request. I'd be very interested in collaborating on your project.
