I am a screenwriter driven by the strange, beautiful and esoteric corners of the conscious experience. Born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, I have always been smitten with the surreal hidden beneath beauty. I am currently living in London. My storytelling blends dark humour, absurdity, and raw emotional undertones to explore themes of control, power, identity, relationships and the nature of "the self". All my scripts strive to serve as answers to philosophical questions. Inspired by my work in visual arts, I bring a unique perspective to storytelling that balances the eerie with the emotional. I am an educator as well. I teach screenwriting for the University of the West Indies during the summer camps, and I teach/teaching assist at London Film Academy. My work is very Jungian and tends to live in the realm of symbols, along with the realm of the narrative.
