Read MoreI have been working as a paid reader for almost two years now with Film Afrika and more recently with Sonia Friedman Productions, who I have read over 150 scripts for in the last year. Reading for each company has given me intimate insight into the pressures of production and the requirements of a professional development pipeline. I have a developed, acute and celebrated ability to provide actionable feedback to producers and writers. I am comprehensive in my approach, with an excellent handle on how to tackle each project on its own terms.Working closely with Film Afrika has given me a uniquely international outlook on reading. Based in South Africa, California and London, the company develops work for all three markets. Born in South Africa but living and working in London, this has encouraged my poly-cultural screen interests, and exposed me to quality work that I believe few readers in London would have encountered otherwise.In addition to this, I have been awarded an MA in Writing for Stage and Broadcast Media at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. I have been active in the London theatre community as a writer for many years, and many years in Cape Town, South Africa before that. I am Programme Delivery Co-Ordinator at RADA Business, which means that I possess advanced communication and project management skills, so you can be assured that I will deliver on time and to your required specification.As an immigrant to London, getting a foot in the door of the screen industries is incredibly difficult. The only option available to me is to distinguish myself through the quality of my labour, which I am proud to do. As a member of your readers pool, you would have a driven and experienced reader with a diverse skillset at your disposal, whose greatest desire is to prove themselves through the quality of their work and the positive impact they could make on the writing team’s overall success.
