Stranger Than Fiction is a research and adaptation consulting service supporting film and television development. I specialize in creating responsibly sourced research materials for writers, directors and producers developing original narratives based on real people, events, concepts, or historical circumstances.

I’ve developed projects with Mike Makowsky for HBO, Amazon and Netflix - one of which, Death By Lightning, will premiere this fall.

Excavating hard to reach stories from books, interviews and rare archival materials is my bread and butter. Credible, easy to trace sourcing is a cornerstone of my work.

Sometimes finding the right facts for a particular project requires using an investigative journalistic practice to uncover new information if the record is light on what we need to know.

Whether your project is set in the distant past or the near future, having a dedicated researcher on board to synthesize all available source information on your subject is an invaluable resource that enables authentic, captivating storytelling.
