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.

Professional Screenwriting Training
Every story needs a different starting point.
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.
Story development and English coaching can be combined or booked separately, depending on what you need.

What I Don't Do
✕ I do not use AI to analyze, develop, or write your screenplay. Every story analysis, creative decision, and recommendation is made personally by me. AI, if used at all, is limited to formatting or administrative tasks and is never used as a substitute for professional creative work.
✕ I do not guarantee screenplay sales, production deals, festival selections, competition wins, or representation.
✕ I do not submit projects to producers, studios, agents, competitions, or film festivals on your behalf unless this has been agreed upon as a separate service.
✕ I do not provide legal, copyright, or entertainment law advice.
✕ I do not write academic papers, essays, theses, or student assignments.
✕ I do not accept projects involving plagiarism, copyright infringement, or unauthorized use of another person's intellectual property.
✕ I do not offer unlimited revisions. The number and scope of revisions are agreed upon before the project begins.
✕ I do not compromise creative integrity, confidentiality, or professional ethics.
✕ I do not work without clear communication, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to the project's success.
