Introducing screenwriter-dramaturg, MA Eeva R. Tikka
Hi! I’m fascinated by humanity and the strangeness of life. To me, stories are deeply metaphorical and should be approached as such. I see dramaturgy like medicine—just as organs have precise places in the body, so do dramaturgical elements in storytelling. I’m passionate about Hollywood-style mainstream and genre films, where well-crafted structure creates a tension as satisfying as geometry. Originality thrives within the familiar.
There is always something unseen behind everything —perceptible only through the traces it leaves behind.
My passions: Classical ballet, Hokutoryu jujutsu, mainstream Hollywood genre films, fairy tales, stories, weapons, observation, languages, learning from the best, studying new things, humanity in all its strangeness, ’connecting the dots,’ details and thought, tactical and strategic analysis, scenarios, hypotheses…
Imagination
Imagination has no boundaries other than the logic of the narrative. The audience must be able to understand the realities of the fictional world.
Analytical skills
Dramaturgical consultation provided confidentially for producers, investors, and screenwriters.
Mastery
It is my duty, but also my great joy, to share my dramaturgical expertise and experience with writers and producers.
