Professional Screenplay Critique and Coaching
“I’ve got a great idea for a screenplay!”
Do you know how many times I’ve heard that line? If I had a dollar for each time someone said they have a great script I’d have my dream house in Malibu. Okay, maybe a bungalow in Echo Park. We know the odds. Most screenplay ideas will never be written, let alone produced. And it’s not because of a lack of talent. It's the lack of knowing how to get from the script idea stage to the first draft and beyond. And it’s the “beyond” part that is most crucial. Yes, it’s a great accomplishment to write the first draft of anything. But it’s knowing what to do with it once you type “Fade Out” on your great Hollywood screenplay.
That’s where I come in.

Michael's feedback was thorough and articulate , and I will definitely be moving forward into my second draft with his notes in mind. I would definitely recommend having Michael read any script before turning it in.

Michael gave me excellent feedback on my script which pointed out in detail key weaknesses in the structure and characters in my story. He also caught a range of more minor issues from formatting to spelling to basic logic. His specific feedback on a few major weak areas was crucial to me redrafting my screenplay at a stage where I was just about to show it to producers. My script had already been reviewed by other consultants, and Michael's comments therefore caught a few blind spots which hadn't been spotted already. I also appreciated Michael's professionalism and honesty and I've used all his input to deliver a screenplay that I am proud of.
