Producers - Services
WHAT DOES A SCRIPT CONSULTANT DO FOR A PRODUCER?
You may have optioned a book or acquired a screenplay, but you need to bring the raw material to the point where you can attract financing. You might need advice as to how to adapt a book to film; or you need a specific kind of rewrite, whether for dialogue, story or character development. This is the point where you should consider using a "script doctor".
As a producer's script consultant I will:
- analyze and evaluate your script or manuscript
- identify and solve story problems
- provide effective suggestions for re-structuring
- help you develop more compelling characters
- guide you in adapting a
book, play or story to film
