Screenwriting

$50/hr Starting at $100

Currently, I am adapting a 1903 novel set in San Francisco to the screen. My international drama, CURE, scored an "8" on The Black List and was a 2019 quarterfinalist in the Screencraft Drama Competition. My adapted psychological drama, CRAWL SPACE, was a finalist for the 2015 New York Women in Film & Television Writer's Lab. Recent work includes co-writing the treatment for the feature documentary INDIGENOUS for Redhouse Productions, and writing a narrative feature (working title CLIPPED WINGS) for Front Row Productions. Earlier credits include dramatic and mockumentary scripts for two Internet-based political series, REINVENTING AMERICA I and II; a segment of the Emmy-winning public TV series, PSYCHOLOGY: THE STUDY OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR for KOCE TV; the WHERE IN TIME IS CARMEN SANDIEGO? PBS children's series home version; the treatment for THE ODDEST COUPLE documentary for KCET TV; and several dramatic educational TV series, including THE U.S. CONSTITUTION with Bill Moyers. My awards include a Codie, a New York Film Festival Gold, an Action for Children's Television Award, Cine Golden Eagles, and a nomination for a Peabody Award. My recent commercial scripts include a crowd funding video for Title 9 Sports, a public service video on human trafficking for the Dallas Women's Foundation, and 25 short videos for a historical tourism phone app. I write in many voices, and am happy to research a subject I am unfamiliar with, especially in pursuit of a richer, more powerful story. In all of my work, I offer exemplary English skills, wide-ranging knowledge, compelling writing, and an abiding curiosity.

    Lisa was a pleasure to work with. We had a very tight deadline and budget. She was more than capable to jump in and help us refine our proposal, work within the budget and meet the tight deadline. Lisa's work was exceptional and she offered insight that greatly contributed to the project. She is clearly an expert in her field and we would be happy to work with her again in the future.

    I couldn't have been happier with Lisa's work. She is thorough, timely, and a great communicator. She spent the time that she needed to in order to understand our project and asked pertinent questions that helped her write the best piece possible for us. Her writing is excellent and very creative as well.

    Lisa is an efficient and quick writer. I requested a Letter of Information for our non-profit, which she seamlessly completed our request quicker then the project date. We are very pleased to work with Lisa and will continue to have her work on future projects.
