Uzo does not consider himself much of a writer, and each of his films has been co-written with someone else based on his initial concepts. After writing and rewriting the script, for "Walls & Bridges", he hired Michael Edelson, then a film professor at SUNY Stony Brook and Barbara Gallen as a story consultants. He co-wrote the finished screenplay with Alyssa McGuinness. Uzo, Alan Fine, and co-producer Anthony Breccia co-wrote "Better Than Ever" based on his story, and he had another writer on "Mendel's Dwarf", again after agonizing on several drafts of the scripts of his own. Most recently, he has consulted with Kimberly Britt to script his third film, titled "Sophie's Wish." Uzo prefers to keep his films simple, straightforward, and unmanipulative, "in the European style."
