I enjoyed reading your script and will anticipate the premier in the future
The Lesson is an excellent script with incredible potential. Production companies reading this should find merit in the fact it’s well written and has highly covetable roles for A-list actors.

The Lesson is a very compelling and well written script with characters we grow to love and cherish over time. Vanessa’s constant rise and fall is well conceived and heart breaking.
About me
I was born and raised in England, the happy child of two amazing parents. My father, who went to work down a coal mine at 14, exceeded all expectations by attending Oxford University in his twenties. A very funny man and a natural storyteller, he kept my brother and I amused for hours on end. Luckily for me, I inherited these genes.
Early on, I learnt a great deal about the idiosyncrasies of life through several part-time jobs. Red Coat at Butlins Holiday Camp, radio station runner, bingo caller and pie baker.
Marketing Career
After university I went into marketing and discovered my right-side creative brain. I set about learning the tools of the trade and working hard. In my 30s I set up and ran 3 successful marketing agencies employing over 100 staff as CEO and founder. Winner of several European marketing awards
Technology Career
I retired from marketing in 2015, In 2016 I worked with Queen Mary University to create the Dragonfly AI tech programme which analyses the saliency of design, now worth $3,500,000 value after 24 months trading.
