Selected script samples
River People
Documentary · Outline
Three families, one river, forty years of receding shoreline. Told entirely through what they refuse to move.
Salt & Steel

The harbour never stopped working. Neither did the people who built it. Open on rust; close on a handshake.
The Crossing
Narrative · Proof of concept
A ferryman who has memorised every passenger's face meets the one he can't place.
Monsoon Diaries
Series Bible · 6 eps.
Each episode begins the moment the rain starts and ends the moment it stops.
Still Hours
Visual Essay
No dialogue. Twenty-four minutes. One argument about patience.
Creative treatments
Four passes, in order. We don't skip one because a deadline is loud.
01
The Premise Pass
We pressure-test the idea in a single page. If it can't hold there, it won't hold for ninety minutes.
02
The Structure Pass
Beat architecture, act turns, and the emotional spine mapped before a single scene is written.
03
The Voice Pass
Dialogue, register and rhythm tuned to the people who actually have to say the lines.
04
The Production Pass
Every page costed against schedule, locations and crew so the draft is shootable, not theoretical.
“They rewrote our whole first act in a weekend and it was the first time the film actually made sense to me.”
