Writing is the inception-point for nearly all creative media projects. Whether it is a treatment for a show or commercial, an outline for a documentary, a narrative script, or even an internal document for your creative or production team, clear and inspiring writing is a must. Here is a selection of writing samples from across the spectrum of my work.
A treatment and pitch for a reality TV show called Hassid Meet Hipster. A show about the unexpected intersection of two very different communities in Williamsburg Brooklyn.
A creative book compiled as a companion and sales kit for the feature film screenplay called Pigment --a magical story of twin sisters born with a rare light sensitivity disorder.
An article on advertising and human desire entitled Effective Messaging and the Hierarchy of Desire.
An outline designed as a roadmap for the feature documentary entitled Kaballah Me. Kaballah Me is a story of spiritual awaking and the esoteric wisdom known as Kaballah.
A response to a paper on Homer's Odysseus' Scar by philosopher Erich Auerbach. My critique offers insights into core differences between Greek and Jewish beliefs and how they are revealed in Homer's writing.
A sales proposal for a high-end, kosher, food booth in Brooklyn, New York, called Maison Fress.
A treatment for a broadcast commercial written for a top-self foreign director who needed an English speaking writer/director to put his ideas to paper.
Pigment is a feature film screenplay about twin sisters with a rare, degenerative, light sensitivity disorder. Pigment has been optioned by Fuller Films.
