This is how story takes shape.

​

​This photo was taken in the thick of post production on Killing Richard Glossip — a true crime series about a man on death row, claiming he's innocent. The story was layered: a live investigation, a courtroom saga, a character study, and a debate over the death penalty itself.

​

To untangle it, I turned to index cards.

​

One scene per card. Color-coded by point of view — Glossip in orange, the state in pink, vérité in yellow. Each card held a promise: tension, revelation, contradiction. On a wall, they became a living map. We'd pin, rearrange, argue, and reimagine — until the story finally told itself.

 

It may look obsessive. It is. But that’s how great stories get built — by hand, with heart, and a little bit of madness.

​

If you're in the weeds with your story, I’d love to help you find its shape. Just be warned: you might leave our first meeting with a new respect for index cards.
