Supernatural and Mythological Consultant for Film, Television, Video Games & Graphic Novels
Bring Authentic Magic, Mythology, and Mayhem to Your Project
Expert Consultation from an Insider in the Genre
The audience for supernatural horror, dark fantasy, and mythological stories is more discerning than ever. Authenticity isn’t just a detail—it’s what separates a forgettable trope from a truly haunting and believable world. As a seasoned screenwriter and author specializing in the occult and weird fiction, I offer a unique service: I help filmmakers and TV producers get the details right. From witchcraft practices and esoteric symbolism to the deep roots of ancient myths, I provide the expertise that adds depth, credibility, and a powerful edge to your storytelling.
How I Can Help Your Production
I offer tailored consultation packages to suit your project’s needs, from a one-off script review to ongoing, embedded support.
1. Script & Story Development Review
- Symbolism & Ritual Accuracy: Ensure your rituals, spells, and occult practices are compelling and credible, not just cliché.
- Character Authenticity: Develop witches, occultists, and paranormal investigators with genuine motivations, knowledge, and practices.
- Mythological Integration: Weave gods, monsters, and folklore from specific pantheons and cultures into your narrative with respect and depth.
- Logic of the Supernatural: Help establish consistent and believable rules for magic, curses, and otherworldly beings within your story’s universe.
2. On-Set & Pre-Production Consultation
- Dialogue Polish: Refine esoteric, historical, or technical dialogue to sound authentic and natural coming from your characters.
- Set Dressing & Props: Advise on grimoires, ritual tools, altars, and arcane symbols to ensure every visual element tells a true and compelling story.
- Director & Actor Briefings: Provide background context, historical references, and character motivation rooted in real-world practices and beliefs.
3. Specialized Research Deep Dives
- Need a specific demon from the Ars Goetia? A love spell from a 17th-century French grimoire? A historically accurate depiction of a witch trial? I conduct targeted research to provide you with precise, production-ready information.
