SCREENPLAY

You’ve got a screenplay on paper but it hasn’t gotten onto a screen… yet. Maybe you’ve shown it to some people and maybe they’ve had their opinions, but you’re still not satisfied. Is it a third act problem? Is your protagonist lacking some yet-to-be-defned quality? Not enough action? Too much action?

Or maybe your screenplay is just perfect. But you need another opinion to make sure.

With the understanding that screenwriting is a process, you’ll get a professional, experienced reading of your screenplay from me. My own screenplays have gone through that process and ended up on the motion picture and TV screen, allowing me to  give notes on structure, character, and dialogue that come from an experienced point of view.

No guarantees that your screenplay will sell, and (sorry!) no advice on who to sell your screenplay to. The goal is to work  on a version of your screenplay that you’ll have confidence submitting to anyone in the industry who is interested in your pitch. Fee: $350 for a one page “coverage” overview. $500 plus $350/hr for red-line notes on the page and phone conversation to discuss.
