Professional Experience
MARCH 2020 – Present
Indie Script Writer / UU, Lagos
Applying writing skills acquired from extensive experience with some of the best indigenous domestic producers, I have been able to progress steadily (with some works under production) to become an affiliated independent scriptwriter who can:
develop interesting and original story ideas and concepts based on multiple plot lines which I can develop to suit the contexts and storylines
understand the meaning of an inciting incident and the importance of structure within scenes, sequences and acts while developing realistic characters who the audience can care about
clearly convey character motivations and actions and give the entire story a quality of realism that the audience will identify with even when a scene is written with reversals that move the story forward
write script dialogue with subtext, where necessary for the sake of the storytelling coupled with an understanding of pacing
be innovative in bringing a story to life while pushing boundaries all in a clean, effective, simple writing style that takes context into consideration
“show not tell” by writing visually for the screen and at the same time vividly express a screenplay theme, deliver or subvert genre expectations as required of the storylines
rewrite based on client’s preferences according to contractual requirements and as quickly and error-free as possible
research a screenplay’s subject matter, world and characters for the purpose of keeping the writing as close to reality as can be reasonable
watch and analyse many great films with plotlines, sequence, script and layout with the added capacity to write outlines of many great films
understand commerciality and be able to write for the marketplace and intended demographic.
