Private sessions are currently open to students with a specific project in mind—a memoir, a script, a poetry collection, or a book—that needs fresh ideas to get moving again. Together, we'll find the heart of your story and shape it into the one you've always meant to tell.

Simin's Story — From First-Time Scriptwriter to 50+ Awards

"You helped me put words to energies and to my visions... When they're watching my films, the audience tells me that they can feel and experience the emotions, just as I intended, and that is a direct result of your coaching."

— Simin V., Sarina Films

Simin wanted to write and produce films that told emotionally rich stories through dance and dialogue, but she had never written a script.

Instead of starting with format, we started with the heart of storytelling: emotion, intention, and her own voice. We worked on slowing down her storytelling, turning her visions into concrete language, and making sure audiences would feel exactly what she intended.

Her first film won more than 50 awards, including Best Short Film at the New York City International Film Festival. A second is ready for release, and a feature script is underway.
