Consulting
Script or Project Analysis:
Feature Film Screenplays, Television Scripts, Novel Manuscripts and TransMedia Projects
Whether you have a micro-budget indie feature film you want to produce yourself, or a spec script you want to sell to a studio, or a television pilot and bible you want to pitch to the networks, or a webseries you want to launch and build a social media plan for – or a whole slate of projects, I offer a variety of consulting services:
Creative Analysis includes a constructive and extensive survey of all the storytelling elements for the project including: structure (plots and subplots), theme, character, dialogue, tone, genre, etc. as well as page notes on the 1st Act (grammar, formatting, typos and stylistic suggestions) as well as the proprietary and patented script graph I helped LitCentral design and develop that is a visual representation of your script’s strengths and weaknesses.
For encouragement, I review rewrites of the same script (within ninety days) for half the original price (which almost all my clients take me up on).
Market Analysis of a project’s best or most likely potential buyers, attachments, demographics, etc. as well as a review of marketing materials such as loglines, synopses, one-pagers, treatments, leave-behinds, trailers, investor presentations, packages, website outlines, social media marketing and/or business plans.
The second service can be offered at half price if both are requested simultaneously (or within ninety days of one another – again, another deal most grab).
I can also be hired to write your promotional materials for you.
Ghost or Co-Writer for feature film screenplays, television pilots and bibles (scripted as well as reality), fiction and non-fiction books and their proposals and the burgeoning transmedia opportunities (video games, websites, blogs, social media or platform distribution plans, etc.) Sample Client Projects
Business Plans, Budgets, Schedules
Capitalize on my extensive mortgage banking and real estate finance underwriting background coupled with my entertainment industry expertise to review business plans for any kind of venture (non-profits, too!).
I can also break your script down into a schedule and budget options, write independent film business plans (even entire production company slates) – everything from bio polishing to waterfall number crunching to even supporting you as a team member as you make your multi-media investor presentations.
