The Screen Writer
Some stories are meant to be read. Others are meant to be seen. My journey as a screenwriter began with the belief that a powerful novel should already feel cinematic — its characters, locations, emotions and turning points unfolding like scenes on a screen. The Life I Didn’t Notice trilogy became that vision: three novels conceived as a larger cinematic journey, following Lilly Fiels through a story of awakening, transformation and the extraordinary gifts hidden within an ordinary life. I approach storytelling with both a novelist’s imagination and a screenwriter’s eye — thinking in images, moments, dialogue, emotion and movement, and exploring how the worlds I create on the page can ultimately live beyond it. Because sometimes the best way to tell a story is to let the camera see what the words made us feel.
An inspiring movie series based on the novel trilogy written by Gerry Visca
Genre and themes:
Inspirational/Romance/Drama/Comedy Drama
Logline: A movie of hope for our times.
Lilly Fiels is a 49 year old New York successful architect who has lost herself and the love of her life in the non stop pursuit of success. She’s at a breaking point, where she is burned out, numb and questioning all of it but has no clue what she needs to do. She’s on the hamster wheel of success and increasingly finds herself day dreaming, in between meetings and daily trappings, of a life and love she had at one point experienced with Lazlo.
Suddenly an accident on the way to a meeting with developers in BC plunges her into a life changing near death experience. The story then takes us back and forth from Lilly’s life in the present to her NDE, where she is presented with the “7 Gifts of Life” represented by a diverse set of memorable and unique characters that guide Lilly to see the miracles of life that have always been there.

Logline:
Iris thought she had left her heart in Tuscany. Three years later, a mysterious letter brings her back to the retreat where she fell in love with Wes—and forces her to discover whether true love can survive the fear that tore them apart.
At its heart, Love’s Messy is not a story about finding a perfect love. It's about discovering that real love is messy, complicated, frightening, funny, imperfect—and completely worth the risk.
Set against the breathtaking landscape and sensual atmosphere of Tuscany, the screenplay offers producers an opportunity to create a romantic film with strong visual identity, international appeal, humour, spirituality and genuine emotional depth—while leaving the door open to a continuing Love’s Messy film series.
A Romantic Story About Second Chances
She left Tuscany . . . She never left her love.
