CONSULTATION
Whether you're writing
for television or film, we can help you make the best first
impression with agents and producers by working together to
perfect your script and ideas.
Our consultants
actually work within the studio system and are the people who
decide the fate of your script submission. They are the
experts that studio heads and development executives turn to
for help in identifying material that should be bought. They
specialize in weeding out the best writers and script premises
worthy of studio sales. In addition, studio heads and
development executives contract our consultants to help them
develop scripts they've bought in order to get them a
production green light.
Trust the
experience of an employed studio professional to focus on
areas that need improvement, as well as make suggestions for
amplifying your script's greatest assets. Discover what
readers are thinking when they evaluate your screenplay, and the
reasons they might cite for giving you pass coverage.
We are pleased to
offer these consultants and specialized services to suit your
needs.
**We will try to
provide a two-week turnaround time from date of submission.

You're ready to dive into the spec market, but may be unaware of how difficult
it is to achieve that rare phenomenon known as a "hot spec" that registers on
every buyer's radar and results in a bidding war. It's everybody's dream, but
the reality is hard work and some lengthy development before you even show it to
an agent.
Even if you're lucky enough to
get your script sold, and even if you're a high paid writer, the studio will put
you through a rigorous development process to improve every aspect of your
script from idea to dialogue. This is an opportunity to receive the sort of
notes that writers are getting on projects they have in development with the
studios. Have every aspect of your script analyzed in order to make the best
first impression with agents and producers. Help boost your selling potential by
fixing the things that executives will immediately recognize as problem areas.
Sellers and buyers have no patience for logic problems in the plot, character
inconsistencies, and meandering storylines. You'll receive specific suggestions
for developing your script; including its premise, storyline, acts one two and
three, character, and dialogue.
This service includes up to
four pages (single spaced) of notes covering both broad and specific suggestions
for improvement. Based on scripts of up to 115 pages.
