Original Narrative Scripts
Developing original stories for feature films, television and short-form productions, Paul works across genres including psychological horror, science fiction, thriller and drama. His writing combines compelling concepts, distinctive characters and cinematic storytelling. From an initial idea or treatment through to a fully developed screenplay, the emphasis is on strong structure, originality and stories that engage audiences.
Services include original screenplays, treatments, story development, character development, structural editing and script consultancy.
Scripts for Documentaries
Great documentaries need great storytelling. Paul develops documentary narratives that bring together research, interviews, archive material and real-world experiences into compelling screen stories. Drawing on his experience as a documentary filmmaker and producer through Jugganort Films, he works with organisations, academics and creative teams to find the central narrative and shape it into an engaging film.
Services include documentary treatments, research-led development, interview frameworks, narration, scripting and editorial consultancy.
Adapting from Source Novels
Translating a novel to the screen requires more than simply transferring its story. It means understanding what makes the original work distinctive and finding the most effective way to express it through cinematic storytelling. Paul works with authors, publishers and rights holders to develop literary works for film and television, identifying dramatic potential, reshaping narrative structures and translating characters and themes for the screen.
Services include adaptation assessments, screen treatments, character development, screenplay adaptations and consultancy.
Workshops and Education
Paul is passionate about sharing the craft of screenwriting and supporting emerging writers. He is a visiting lecturer in screenwriting at the University of Leeds and a volunteer script mentor at Oakwood Film Academy. He has experience of delivering workshops, seminars and bespoke training for universities, colleges, film schools and community groups.
His three-hour seminar on writing for short film explores premise, character, conflict, structure and visual storytelling through practical exercises and creative discussion.
