Primarily writing, consulting, archive, and post production for this three-part limited series about this evolving and complex true crime case.

Script editing and scripting various episodes of ELH, as well as other Red Marble projects. Post production management as well.

Writer/Producer of season 1. Help to develop unusual storytelling style for a true crime series.

Given my true crime TV expertise, I’ve been consulting with FOX Television Development, as well as Executive Producing pilots, sizzle reels, and pitch decks for yet-to-be-announced crime and “crime-adjacent” TV programs for streaming services, cable, syndication, and network television. The job involves extensive research of the crime TV genre to ensure that our series, limited series, and/or documentaries in development are fresh, matchless & pioneering. I utilize my extensive contacts in law enforcement, forensic psychology, criminology, crime scene analysis, etc. to cast the best stories and experts possible for programs in development.

My role is to guide home the first season of this true crime series. Preceding my arrival, the original showrunner and his team did all the heavy lifting I'm used to doing. They found and cleared the stories for production, shot the interviews and wrote the initial scripts for post. As I take over, the episodes are in great shape. So, my job is to keep that same trajectory through recre production, post and delivery to the network.
