Screenwriting
COMPLETED WORKS
Igboland
When an upcoming author asked Vanessa to not only assist with the editing of his debut novel — an epic drama based on a remarkable true story — but to also write the feature film script adaptation, she couldn’t refuse.
Although the screenplay has been completed, all is being kept under wraps until the movie is produced.
Fuggers
Stranded inside the Bratislavia airport for 24 hours with nothing to distract her, Vanessa wrote this 30-minute TV Sitcom pilot, as well as the beginning of the 12-episode series outline.
She followed it up by completing the outline, and promptly produced the pilot episode (a week-long shoot).
Barking Mad
Vanessa has completed the screenplay of her second TV pilot — a 45-minute comedy-drama — as well as the series outline, and will be pitching it to network executives in the near future.
If you loved Doc Martin, this series will be right up your alley.
The Hopeaholic
Having put this screenplay aside after several rewrites, in order to produce someone else’s feature film, Vanessa returned to this true-story-inspired comedy-drama.
After two professional script consultations and exciting reader reviews, she completed the ‘shooting script’.
BarnSmoke Pictures is looking forward to bringing this feature film to the silver screen.
