Writing

As a writer of articles, blogs, copy, audio dramas, short stories, screenplays, and a novel-in-progress, I am constantly exploring the conflict and confluence between humanity and technology.

In 2021 I was one of just 13 writers (and the only foreigner), to win a scholarship to study screenwriting at La Salle College of The Arts. In 2025 I was appointed writer-in-residence at 1880 member's club and my co-written screenplay Stutter won Best Unmade Script in Asia at the Asia Television Forum. It has since been optioned by a production company.

Dr. Timothy Smith has invented an unlimited source of free, clean energy. All he needs to scale it is a few investors willing to actually make the world a better place AND make shit ton of money with it.
