Geoffrey Fletcher’s interest in film began as a child, working with a video camera, a cast of toys and his own imagination. He continued as a passionate amateur for many years, throughout college and after graduating as he worked as a university professor. Throughout, he continued to write and direct his own short films.

"It was a very long journey from when I got my first movie camera to going to film school, and then a huge gap between film school and Precious. I took a lot of jobs that had nothing to do with film, but I never stopped studying, writing, and imagining."

In 2006, after watching one of Geoffrey’s short films, Lee Daniels asked Geoffrey to write a screenplay based on the book, Push by Sapphire. It went on to become Precious – an international success that has earned armfuls of awards, including Best Adapted Screenplay at the 82nd Academy Awards.

"It's a beautiful thing to want to create. Everyone can tell a story, sometimes we just need that window of opportunity. Enjoy The Script. The rest is up to you".
