Jade Kendall

Advertising Manager at Venue Magazine

 

"In one word I would describe Geno as magnanimous, as he leads you through your own naive attempt of a screenplay, in an extremely professional yet informal manner. The depth of perception is extreme with plaudits and compliments skipping off the page, along with much needed criticism which far from caustic, appears as resonant motivation . It is my view that I made the best decision ever when I decided to approached Geno. If I was keen to write prior to this experience, I am now chomping at the bit to produce my finest writing ever.

Thank you so very much Geno. I would indubitably recommend that all and any screenwriters, at whatever level, seek the advice of this guru. You will not regret it!
