Research Interests
Specialising in Screenwriting, I explore dramaturgy for film, the functions of dramatic structure in storytelling and the processes of writing for different forms and styles of films. More specifically, I work intensively on character development and how the core/paradox method facilitate the process.
PGR supervision
I am eligible to supervise PGR students in areas of studies related to writing for animation, dramaturgy for film production, story development, dramatic structure, and character development for different media.
