I offer
practical workshops in storytelling and scriptwriting in which I introduce empathy as a tool for concept and story development. These workshops can be tailored to the needs of industry professionals such as scriptwriters, producers, directors, actors, journalists, production companies, public broadcasters, etc. Workshops can also be aimed at students of directing, producing, and scriptwriting as well as organizations and companies that have a vested interest in storytelling in different forms. Workshops can address fictional storytelling as well as documentary film-making, character development, story structure, world-building, etc. Interested in my workshops?
Contact me and I'll tell you more.During the workshops, participants will develop their writing skills as well as gain a deeper understanding of the emotional potential of their and other's stories. I have previously given similar workshops in documentary film-making at the
University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg (South Africa) and
AFDA Film School,
Cape Town (South Africa) during the years 2006-2016. I have held workshops aimed at fiction film in empathy and storytelling at the

Bathroom Stories (Moilo, 2019) and
Vakuum 2 (Söder films, 2021), and a children's series
A year in the Fairytale Forest (Söder films, 2021).
