"Terry McMahon mentored me on a feature screenplay early in my career, and the lessons he taught me continue to inform my work as a professional screenwriter. His understanding of storytelling is second to none. Through a relentless and insightful interrogation of character, Terry transformed the screenplay and fundamentally changed the way I approach writing.

What sets Terry apart is his belief that every character matters, no matter how small the role. He has an extraordinary ability to uncover the truth of a character's motivations, contradictions and humanity, and that depth of inquiry elevates every aspect of the work.

Beyond his remarkable story instincts, Terry is a generous and compassionate filmmaker with a profound respect for the writing process. He also played a pivotal role in launching my career, introducing me to a producer which ultimately led to my first feature film being made.

For his mentorship, guidance and belief in my work, I will always be grateful. Any writer or filmmaker fortunate enough to work with Terry will come away not only better at their craft and with higher standards for their work but with a deeper understanding of storytelling itself."
