DETAILED ANALYSIS - $350
This is probably the best way to go when preparing for a revision or rewrite.  The analysis includes a Cover Sheet, a Logline, a Grid Chart, 1-2 page Synopsis and 10-12 pages of Comments; specific notes on your script in the major areas that constitute a great screenplay:

 Premise - Strong and specific themes going to the end of the line?  New ideas or an original spin on tried and true?  Marketing potential?  Mass appeal or arthouse?  How it stacks up to what has been done and what is out there?

 Story -  Does it hook the reader in the early pages?  Strong and defined Central Conflict? Is it clear what the story is about?  Fresh, innovative, imaginative, original voice?  Does it contain the elements that will draw an audience into a theater?  Is there a strong emotional pull?  Will it touch people, identify?

 Structure - Is the structure appropriate to the genre?  Is there a clear cut beginning, middle and end?  Is it fully developed?  Are the components of good structure in place up and working: an active protagonist, equal and mounting antagonism, jeopardy, urgency, tension, rising stakes?  Does the script move, build, intensify, continually hold attention?  Are the subplots in place, up and working? Goals seen and followed through?  Does it flow?  Does it gel?  Does the resolution tie up the loose ends?  Does it pay off satisfactorily?

 Character and Relationships - Is the protagonist likable, sympathetic, empathetic, identifiable?  Is he or she an engaging, credible, dynamic character who can carry a picture?  Is the main character active or reactive?  Will the audience root for the main character, care?  Do the main characters sufficiently “arc” during the story and change in some manner by the end of the piece?  Is the villain a formidable foe?  Are the forces of antagonism strong enough to challenge and change the main characters?  Are all of the players unique in some fashion and three dimensional demonstrating both an outer want and an inner life?

 Dialogue - Is it believable, suited to character?  Do the words flow naturally out of their mouth?  Is it conceivable that this character would say that?  Does the dialogue vary as per character, dimension and worldliness of same?  Does it compliment the situation implying subtext and other subject matter or does it simply reiterate what is already known and seen?  Crisp, well-paced, consistent?  Does the dialogue artfully and seamlessly reveal character and illustrate the character development as the story moves on?

 Genre considerations - Does it adhere to the conventions and devices of the genre?  Comedy, is it funny?  Does the humor come from the story itself or from canned one-liners?  If it is a drama is it moving, involving, gripping, powerful?  If it is a thriller are they devices in place that will keep audiences on the edge of their seat?
 
STUDIO LEVEL SCRIPT COVERAGE - $150
“Coverage” is the name given to the brief report on a screenplay that the studio readers write-up for producers who are looking at scripts for consideration.  It includes a Cover Page, Logline, Grid-chart, 1 page Synopsis and 2 pages of Comments.  The comments are given exactly as a professional reader would write them and deal in a ballpark fashion with the strengths and weaknesses of the screenplay.  Although what is remarked on is general it will still give you an overview of what needs attention in your piece.

PAGE BY PAGE SCRIPT NOTES - $400
Finite direct notes using the techniques of “Detailed Analysis” but breaking it down to the individual page as to highlight the suggested revisions and remedies.  We specify the exact page and adjustment needed defining how and why it is suggested.

DUAL DEVELOPMENT - $1,000
This is the process in which, by E-mail, fax and phone conversations our script-doctor works close with you, 10-15 pages at a time to keep the work and the story on course.  From an outline or idea we decide on how to proceed and what to write.  Then, the writer writes it, submits it to us and we confer and coach as described above.  Changes and revisions are made on the current pages and we move on to the next 15 pages.  We set a deadline for the readied script of anywhere from 10 weeks to 20 and we stick to the business of getting it done.
