I read scripts for development teams. Coverage, notes and assessment on features, television and underlying IP — for production companies, competitions, funds and scouts who need another trusted pair of eyes. Ten years of reading in English and Spanish, to your template or mine. Here is what that looks like.
Existing templates, scorecards and internal development criteria can be followed.
01
Script Assessment
Concept, execution, structure, character, market potential and overall viability.
02
Development Notes
Notes designed to move a project forward, not simply describe its problems.
03
Overflow Reading
Submission support when development teams have more material than capacity.
04
Book-to-Screen / IP
Novels, manuscripts and other IP evaluated for adaptation potential.
05
English / Spanish
Reading and analysis across English- and Spanish-language material.
06
Competition / Fund
Structured scoring and written assessment against existing selection criteria.
01 — Send the material
Script, treatment, deck, novel or submission batch.
02 — Set the brief
My framework or your own criteria and template.
03 — Receive the assessment
Clear written analysis, delivered to deadline.
04 — Scale when needed
One project, ten submissions or recurring overflow.
