Emotional Architecture
Nathaniel Marshall founded Screen & Story to extend his work with top film and television creatives, helping deliver exceptional stories across all genres. With over two decades of experience as a screenwriter and video editor for major studios and networks, his focus is on refining structure, tone, character voice, and emotional continuity at every stage of production. Building on that foundation, Screen & Story draws on a network of story experts from across the creative process to meet you where you are, as a trusted and enthusiastic creative collaborator.

AI STATEMENTe.
Screen & Story’s core narrative work is led entirely by experienced human storytellers, grounded in professional craft and real-world production expertise. While we may selectively use AI to support limited, secondary tasks—such as quick summaries, alternative drafts, or proofreading—its use is always disclosed, and never fundamental to the core services we provide.
