About Olena Chepurna

I am a Ukrainian screenwriter, author, story consultant and English Language Coach (English with Movies) with more than 17 years experience.
I started my career in 2007 as an interpreter and English teacher and eventually founded my own language school, Learn English with Movies, which I ran for eight years.
My passion for movies and storytelling led me to screenwriting and novel writing. After completing professional screenwriting training, I wrote seven screenplays and two book manuscripts in five years and began consulting other writers on their projects.
Today, I combine both professional paths: I write spec screenplays for the international market, consult writers on their screenplays, and teach English through movies and TV series.

You can come to me with a small idea, an unfinished story, or a completed screenplay. I’ll meet you at your current stage and help you move forward through a clear, step-by-step development process.

If English is not your first language, I can help with that too.
I offer specialized English lessons for screenwriters and authors, focused on natural dialogue, industry vocabulary, pitching, professional communication, and writing for an international audience — all through films, TV series, and original screenplays.
