About

Screenwriter’s Edge began with a simple observation.

Most systems of story, however differently they are branded, are circling the same mechanism. Stories move when decisions carry consequence. When pressure narrows options. When something changes that cannot be undone.

The problem is rarely imagination. It is often softness — a decision that preserves options, a conflict that resets, an ending that arrives before the cost has fully landed.

This platform exists to examine story at that level.

Not as formula.
Not as template.
Not as doctrine.
But as craft.

The focus here is practical. Lessons are structured. Questions are direct. The aim is not to produce a particular style of script, but to help writers see where escalation strengthens and where it falters.

Screenwriter’s Edge is led by Terry Dray.

An honours graduate in filmmaking and Master’s graduate in screenwriting, he has worked across production, performance, and development for over three decades. From kitchens and construction to theatre and film sets, the through-line has been the same: craft improves when it is shared plainly.

The approach here is measured. Calm. Diagnostic.
Look closely at the decision.
Follow the consequence.
See what changes.

That is the work.
