Why NOW is The Best Time
To Get Your Script Ready
To Market
Know what everybody in the movie industry is talking about right now? The huge market for independent films.When I was at the Berlin Festival last month, one of the world's leading film festivals and a major meeting for the international film circuit, the hot topic among the 20,000 professionals from over 130 countries was how there's an increasing global demand for films made by the independent sector. All the world's major distributors were saying that they'll be looking more and more at acquiring indies because the Hollywood studio system is now crumbling. This means an unprecedented opportunity for screenwriters of bold, imaginative work who don't want to write Hollywood tent-pole scripts. There has never been a better time for emerging screenwriters to get their scripts out there. Distributors desperately need films and that means indie film companies need more great scripts! What they won't be looking for is formulaic, cookie-cutter scripts. Make sure you're screenplay is the kind they're desperately searching for - one that's inventive and powerful, with a solid emotional core. If you want some intensive guidance to raise your script to the level of excellence producers are crying out for, take a look at how Unique Screenplay coverage might help.

What Makes These Reports Different?
As well as dealing with the traditional elements which professional script reports address, my assessments also involve giving attention to aspects of screenwriting that get less attention than they should but which are the crucial ingredients producers are now looking for.
Things like:Emotional Pull - The one thing your script must have - Categoricallynot the Sentimental Kind Subtext - Which Needs to be Everywhere, not just in the dialogue What Makes For A Powerful Compelling Character Irony - An Absolute Pre-Requisite For An Outstanding Screenplay Interesting Narrative Structure - Experimenting Till It's Right For Your Story Visual Grammar - Making Meaning with Visuals Sensual - Why you need to touch, smell, feel, see, and taste the script Coping with the Nightmare of Exposition Dialogue - However Much or How Little The Story Needs The Power of Silence Inhabiting Your Character Just as The Actor Will Inhabiting the Mind, Body, Heart and soul of your Audience

Why Bother?
Why bother with a screenplay coverage report? If you've got as far as you can on your own, are stuck, or feeling so bad you just want to give up, then it could be you'll benefit from supportive, professional advice.
Of the thousands and thousands of scripts that are submitted to agents and producers every year over 9o% get turned down.
There's little point in sending out your screenplay unless it's as brilliant as you can make it.
And that means that feedback from friends and family, however well-intentioned, is just not going to help that happen. If they say something doesn't work, they may be right, but they're rarely going to be able to show you how to fix it.
Chances are it isn't the story that's the problem, it's having difficulty with finding your voice, discovering what your unique vision is.
That's what interests me as a script consultant. Coaxing out the latent creative vision of the screenwriter and offering ways to transform a script into an outstanding one.

I Don't 'Farm Out' Scripts
I do not 'farm out' scripts to less experienced readers which quite a few script services do without being clear that they operate such a practice.
