MAC Script Development

I recently received a Manitoba Arts Council Script Development Grant to write the first draft of Effective Immediately. I'll be working closely with Bevan, who will be directing selected actors through an improvisational/collaborative process pioneered by filmmakers like John Cassavetes and Mike Leigh.

The intent is to create naturalistic dialogue that will resonate emotionally with the actors when the film goes to camera. This approach affords me an opportunity unique to most screenwriters as we typically work in abject isolation.
