Writing to mess with stereotypes...

ME

THANKS FOR VISITING ME HERE.

Welcome to my page. I am a creative geek and storyteller. I bring impact stories to life for any screen, using technology and gamification to bust stereotypes for a good cause. I like using humor to create characters who are flawed, yet badass. Every day heroes.

I was lured into technology with the promise of regular work hours and meaningful salaries at the age of 19. Since then, I have worked my way up in large companies before joining a startup and helping to bring that to success.

A sabbatical to work on a movie project in Los Angeles inspired me to write a romantic comedy about the modern, empowered woman in technology. In it, my leading lady is a formidable geek and strays away from the clichéd story of the geek wanting the girl to the geek being the girl. Today, women in technology are still a minority and in entertainment often portrayed quite stereotypical.

It fueled my interest in creating stories with a message. Both the gaming and the entertainment industry have enormous potential to bring social messages with entertainment value to a worldwide audience.

That’s why I now use my ‘techspertise’ to produce content I am passionate about, serious content through screenwriting and gaming.

Both in-game and on screen, my stories are about connection, love and laughter using the technologies I have come to love over the course of my career.

BIOGRAPHY

I am an award-winning technology entrepreneur, game producer, and writer – a professional geek with a creative mind. During my ascending career, I’ve worked my way up in several Fortune 500 companies such as Siemens, Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft and managed a Software Startup in Germany.

Then, I got the opportunity to invest in a start-up with the mission of improving quality of life through technology in urban developments. Excited by the prospect of playing SimCity in real life, I joined the now award-winning software company Living PlanIT and helped build it for the next 7 years.

Over the years, I developed a keen interest in the storytelling potential that technology offers. I also started thinking about stories that are supported by the right technology in getting their message across. Discovering my creative side through that process.

I started mentoring start-ups for Microsoft Ventures program and has since zoomed into supporting more young female entrepreneurs in the technology space.

Working with young entrepreneurs taught me the lesson of meeting audiences where they are to be able to get your message across effectively. Both the gaming and film industry have an enormous potential to bring social messages with entertainment value to a worldwide audience. This is how young people learn & consume today.

As the producer and narrator of Shadow’s Edge, the first mobile game designed to build resilience in teens that face health issues, I do just that. I take our message to where the teen audience lives, on their mobile phones.

In parallel, I keep writing to expand the work of creating an impact through story and entertainment, and I collaborate with other fierce women in technology and entertainment to produce projects that give resources to people that need them and content that defies stereotypes.

I keep mentoring young female entrepreneurs, am a regular guest blogger on various sites and I consult companies on using gamification and entertainment to get their story across.

“Really good female Protagonist is brilliantly geeky, strong yet makes mistakes that make you want to strangle her and help her the same time. - Marie Devautour, 2^nd AD”

The script is inspired by the desire to bring more relatable women in technology to the big screen. With our creation of a world where women are the heroes and leading experts in science and tech, we can inspire women to embrace their prospects of a career in this incredibly diverse field.

Script ready

Numbered- script under development

When Charlotte joins the CIA in the 90s as one of the first analyst focused on crimes associated with information technology, she was not expecting to become a field agent. Charlotte must go undercover as a hacker and join the team that steals 1.5 Billion from numbered accounts in Switzerland to uncover who is behind the heist. But as she gets closer and wins the trust of her target to uncover his plans, she discovers that nothing is what it seems and when her cover is blown there is only one escape route for both of them. Script under development.

Flat Martha - Drama (Script under development)

One day, terminally ill young Martha (New Orleans) sends a cardboard cut-out version of herself to Zoe, asking her take pictures with the Flat Martha in all her favourite places. Martha cannot travel anymore like she has always dreamed of. However, unbeknownst to Martha, Zoe has committed suicide.

The arrival of the letter and the cardboard character shocks Zoe’s mother Grace to the core. But how can she turn down a dying girl’s wish? The cardboard figure’s journey around London unexpectedly connects Grace and Martha, helps them face their grief and come to terms with the tragic changes in their lives.

Sheri Sobrato Brisson "For young people who are sick, really sick, illness is like shadow hovering over them. Doctors are treating complex disease better than ever before, but these treatments take an emotional toll. It’s hard to talk about the dark or scary side of recovery. Just like it is hard to talk about what prompts suicide in young people. The movie aims to raise awareness about the emotional side of dealing with grief, even when you are still alive."
