get your script read

stop paying for competitions, pay for advice.

Sometimes, all you need is feedback. We’re here to help.

Before you go to camera, you need a script. We’ll review your screenplay and provide key insights and recommendations on your story, characters, themes, and other elements that need development. We’re here to help you at your final stages of screenwriting before you hand that script to an executive, producer, or go to camera.


Get the rare opportunity to take a peek into the mind of a festival programmer.

This is the feedback you need before you export that final cut. We review your film and outline your project’s viability before you send your film off to the film festival circuit. Discover how your film’s theme, structure, runtime, and more impacts your performance in the submissions process before even clicking that button.
