Crafting transformative narratives for Hollywood studios, Academy Award winners, and major publishers through the alchemy of story and psyche.
George N. Makrinos is a writer and producer with a passion for empowering people to share their stories with the world.
His signature method, Deep Storywork™️, has been the cornerstone of his success, enabling him to secure high-profile deals and collaborations in publishing and film.
George's journey into storytelling began twenty years ago with an idea for a movie and a meeting with a studio executive—an experience he likened to meeting the Wizard of Oz. Although he didn't fully grasp the advice he received at the time, it became the defining inspiration for his career. Over the next two decades, George refined his Deep Storywork™️ approach, a system rooted in depth psychology and character-driven narratives, which has earned him a place among Hollywood's most respected creatives.
His accomplishments include producing a feature film with Academy Award winner Spike Lee, developing a film adaptation with Academy Award winner Guillermo del Toro of George's own book series, producing a short film that launched its young female star into the lead role of the highest-grossing horror film of all time, and producing another short film co-financed by the Russo Brothers, the directors of the Avengers franchise.
George's Deep Storywork™️ method has also been the catalyst for securing publishing deals with Scholastic (working with the same editorial team of Harry Potter and Hunger Games), Simon & Schuster, and Rizzoli—all without finished manuscripts.
Driven by the belief that storytelling helps us navigate our lives, George values the deep social connections that come from sharing meaningful stories. Through his work, he is dedicated to helping people around the world turn their unique journeys into cinematic legacies, amplifying their influence and their revenue, and leaving an enduring impact on the world.

Celebrating Success
George's information was a game changer and helped structure my screenplay. His patented Deep Story Works outline allowed me to identify the characters as archetypes. These archetypes present themselves in every story (The Protagonist, The Past, The Id, The Ego, The Superego, and The Antagonist). George lays out his format in a way that is easy to follow. He demonstrates this in a way that shows you by looking at movies with those archetypes and how to add them into your story. Hats off to you, George. Can't wait to see your part two and what it will awaken within my writing. He also shows you how to organize a diamond pitch for those who green-light movies that will get anybody listening to your story pitch ideas. This is a tool that every writer should have in his toolbox.

Working with George has been an absolute game-changer. He took my deeply personal and transformative journey—one filled with pain, resilience, and ultimate triumph—and distilled it into a masterful, compelling narrative. His ability to capture the essence of my story, while preserving its emotional depth and impact, is nothing short of remarkable. George didn't just summarize my experiences—he honored them. He saw beyond the surface and brought out the raw, unfiltered truth in a way that speaks directly to the hearts of those who need to hear it. Through his Deep Storywork™ process, he helped structure my journey into something not just inspiring, but profoundly relatable. Thanks to his expertise, my story now carries even greater clarity, resonance, and power. I'm beyond grateful for his gift in storytelling and his dedication to ensuring that stories like mine are told with the depth and integrity they deserve. If you want your message to be heard, felt, and remembered, George is the one to bring it to life and with the unstoppable 'can do' attitude hopefully funded and green lit into a movie
