“I have worked with Janice in two capacities – as a consultant on a script which showed talent and originality, and when I came to London to do a seminar she was my host and the one in charge of taking care of a number of details about my stay.

I was impressed with her talent on the script, her openness, her approach and expect the script would speak for itself.

I was also impressed with who Janice was as a person, and what she brought to everything she did. She has an unusual and fascinating background in many areas, which always serves a writer well since there is so much to draw from. More than that, the qualities that one hopes to find in a professional were expressed in many ways – the way she arranged everything. Her concern for making sure everything went well. Her friendliness and warmth and awareness. Although sometimes these qualities don’t seem as important, as a long-time script consultant, I have found that a writer’s ability to work well with others (or as we used to say in kindergarten – “to play well with others”) are actually a very good indicator of success in the film industry which is such a collaborative industry. Janice is someone who brings the qualities that lead to success as a writer – including the ability to collaborate, to listen, to be creative, to respond, to know what is needed in writing and rewriting and then working with a team. I meet many people in my work as both a script consultant and when doing seminars around the world. Janice is someone who impressed me greatly, and she impressed me further when I read her work. I hope you will strongly consider her for your program.”
