Script Coverage

Whether you're a writer, producer, or director, we are always interested in helping you develop your script to the best of its potential, so we're very happy to offer studio quality coverage on your script!

Included in a coverage report is:
  1. a logline,
  2. a brief summary of our comments
  3. a scoring grid that evaluates different elements of your script such as premise, story, characterizaton, dialogue, structure, writing, and originality
  4. a synopsis of the story (so you can see if the important elements of your script are clear to the reader) **This is optional**
  5. 1-5 pages of comments (depending on script length) on what we feel are the script's strengths and weaknesses

Our founder, Paul, has achieved wide recognition as a top reviewer on Francis Ford Coppola's zoetrope.com and possesses a professional license as a STORY ANALYST & SCRIPT CONSULTANT.

For a reasonable fee, he will take a look at your script and send you his coverage within 3-5 days, discussing the strengths and weaknesses he sees in your work. If it works, he'll tell you. If it doesn't, he'll tell you and explain why. Moreover, he'll give you actionable suggestions on how you might resolve any issues he sees in the work, all in the spirit of helping your script reach its full potential.

Some excerpts taken from sample coverages:

"... the pacing of the story is quite engaging, as are the twists and suspense. Just as the hero gets comfortable in one environment, the rug gets pulled out from under his feet and moves him in an entirely different direction. This keeps  the interest level high..."

"...however, an exploration of how Angela deals with her unplanned pregnancy is never offered. Only an exploration of how her parents deal with it is. This is where focus on who or what the story is really about is lost..."

"...the overall feeling of the dialogue within the story gives the characters a sense of 'sameness'. Adding differing vocabulary and a variety of vernacular in the characters' speech would help give the characters distinction from each other..."

"...there is some difficulty in understanding what motivates the hero to lure young women into the bush and kill them. What caused him to become this way? There's a past here that needs to be explored..."
