Charles Duffie: Storyteller
These projects cover a wide range of storytelling experiences: published novel, short story, book review; story curriciculum and TEDx presentation; short screenplays and development show bibles. Some (like the TEDx script) required close one-on-one work with a client, while others (like the show bibles) involved dynamic writer room sessions and input from producers, directors, and studios.
Each link opens a new window to a full-sized PDF. Depending on your web browser, the files may open zoomed in to a startling degree. Please use your browser’s zoom function to adjust as needed, and scroll down to see multi-page documents.
Thanks for your time and consideration. If you need more information, please give me a call at 909-398-1909 or send me an email.
