Script Writing - Building Your Story From the Group Up

Writing a screenplay requires both creativity and a deep understanding of the format. If you’re stuck at the beginning, staring at a blank page, or unsure where to take your story, it might be time to bring in a fresh perspective. Starting with a solid draft can often clear up the rest of your vision for the script.

We can help you:



• Brainstorm multiple script options based on your initial idea or concept.

• Clarify the themes, genres, format, and medium that best fit your vision.

• Write a compelling synopsis, a detailed outline, the first ten pages, or even the full first draft of your script, ensuring it's off to a strong start.

Script Editing - Taking You Script to the Next Level 

No script is ever perfect in its first draft. A professional edit can help elevate your script in terms of clarity, pacing, structure, and overall impact.

Whether you’re looking to streamline your story, cut down on the length, reduce the number of characters, or add layers of humour, we can provide the expert guidance you need.

Our editing services include:

• A complete second draft of your script that focuses on tightening the story, improving the flow, and enhancing the overall structure.

• Character development, ensuring every character is fully realised and impactful.

• Dialogue polishing to make your characters sound authentic and true to their motivations.
  

Script Doctoring - Giving Your Script the Professional Touch

Sometimes, despite multiple drafts, your script may still feel incomplete or lacking direction. A second pair of eyes is invaluable in identifying the weaknesses you may have missed.

Our Script Doctoring service includes a thorough analysis of your script and provides you with a comprehensive report highlighting its strengths, weaknesses, and actionable steps to improve it.

We offer:

• A detailed report that dissects your screenplay, pinpointing areas of improvement.

• Suggestions for expanding your story or revising certain elements, such as character arcs, pacing, or plot points.



• Solutions to specific issues such as lack of tension, underdeveloped subplots, or dialogue that doesn't feel authentic.
