Client Highlights
“Working with Ogechi was pivotal for my feature script, Caregiver, which is an immigrant drama told through a sci-fi and detective lens. Going into rewrites, I was struggling to find the right balance between the heavier themes of generational trauma and the investigative side of the story. I knew my detective character lacked depth and the narrative needed a stronger momentum to keep the audience engaged.
Ogechi delivered precise, character-focused feedback. She asked probing questions about character motivation, background, and cultural nuances that forced me to dig deeper and examine the emotional core of the story. She also provided creative ideas and suggestions that pushed me to see my story in a completely new light. Her notes provided the clarity and tools I needed to tackle a major rewrite with confidence.
Having her input gave me a clear roadmap to work from. Since then, the script has improved a lot. It's done well in a few labs and pitch competitions, and I'm now moving forward to shoot a proof-of-concept short! I highly recommend Ogechi to any writer looking to elevate their characters and strengthen their story structure.”

“As a first time screenwriter, I was hesitant to share my first draft because I knew my script was not in a good place, but I wasn't sure what it needed or if it even had a story. I was nervous to share my work, but after chatting with Ogechi, I knew that I could trust her notes on the script and that it wouldn't lose its heart.
I thought she would send me a page of criticism, but she went above my expectations with pages of thoughtful notes that blended both compliments with specific changes that could be made in order to provide more flow to the story and more depth to the characters.
I was able to take her notes, remove some scenes that didn't work, build ones that felt served the story better and overall complement the vision without making it more "Hollywood". I am on draft ten and have packaged the script and film for acquiring film funding.
If it weren't for Ogechi, her commitment to craft and thoughtful, specific notes, my script would likely still be sitting on the computer. ”
