Screenwriting and script review

The script decides whether a film works. I write scripts for commercials, brand films, science films and documentaries, and I review your existing script with honest, specific notes.

Two routes to a great script

Writing

Screenwriting

From the first idea to a shooting draft. Together we develop concept, outline and treatment, and I turn them into the script, including voice-over.

  • Briefing call and research
  • Concept, outline and treatment
  • Script in industry format (Fountain, Final Draft, PDF)
  • Voice-over text and interview guide
  • Revision rounds based on your feedback
Review

Script review

Already have a script? I read it with a director's and producer's eye and tell you what works, what's missing and what will cost money on the shoot day.

  • Numbered notes right in the script
  • Written overall assessment
  • Specific suggestions instead of general criticism
  • Follow-up call by phone or video
  • On request: I write the revision

What I look for in a review

Every note is numbered and explained. You decide what to take on.

  1. Note 01

    Story structure

    Does the story hold? Where does the film lose tension, where is a turning point missing, where is an act too long?

  2. Note 02

    Message

    Does the right message land? Does the script fit the audience, the channel and the brand?

  3. Note 03

    Facts & consistency

    Contradictions, continuity errors, wrong figures and terms that nobody notices until the film is finished.

  4. Note 04

    Dialogue & voice-over

    Does it sound natural when spoken? Does the length of the voice-over fit the scene?

  5. Note 05

    Timing & length

    Realistic running time per scene and overall, matched to the delivery format.

  6. Note 06

    Producibility

    What does each scene cost on the shoot day? Where can you get the same effect with a simpler shoot?

Who it's for

For anyone who wants certainty before the shoot

A review costs a fraction of a shoot day and often saves several.

  • Companies and agencies with their own script
  • Filmmakers before a funding application or shoot
  • Universities and science communication
  • Productions that need a second pair of eyes

FAQ

How much does a script review cost?

Mainly length and depth: a 60-second spot is quicker to read than a 90-minute film. After a quick look at your script, you get a fixed price.

How quickly will I get feedback?

I usually review short scripts within a few business days. For long formats, we agree on the date in advance.

In which format can I send my script?

Fountain, Final Draft, Word or PDF. You get notes right in the script plus a summary assessment.

Is my script confidential?

Of course. On request, I sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) beforehand.

Will you rewrite the script too?

Happy to. You decide whether you only want the review and revise it yourself, or whether I write the next draft.

Who owns the rights to the script?

For work for hire, you receive the agreed usage rights to the finished script. Exactly what is transferred is stated in the quote.
