I just read your notes. You are brilliant. Seriously.
I've spent six months thinking about these people and couldn't see any of this.
My main character was just - eluding me and now she seems so obvious -
and more adorable than ever. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This is exactly what I was hoping for."”

LET THE SUNDANCE APPROACH WORK FOR YOU

Thousands of writers submit their scripts every year to Sundance vying for the chance to receive the same proactive, personalized attention that has produced movies like Reservoir Dogs, Boys Don’t Cry, Pretty Woman, Boogie Nights and Smoke Signals.

And I’m the guy that reads them all.

I pore through a dozen scripts per week from established screenwriters, small-town hopefuls, foreign filmmakers, even movie stars. I ask of each one, “What is this writer trying to say?” and “How can we support him to say it better?” I jump into the trenches creating personalized feedback, customized exercises and problem-solving solutions as a first crucial step in determining which scripts might be developed into something truly special.

My hands-on story analysis has inspired me to create a consultation service that makes the Sundance workshop environment available to every writer serious about creating the best script possible. Paradigms, formulas and secrets that sell aren’t going to do the trick. What you need is individually tailored attention from that rare industry professional whose work expressly involves helping writers achieve their unique visions.

My ability to help clients transform their scripts and achieve their unique visions has been so successful that I was recently approached by world renowned film scholar Jeanine Basinger to teach screenwriting seminars at the prestigious Wesleyan University film school - a program that has produced successful directors like Joss Whedon, Michael Bay and Miguel Arteta. My clients have gone on to land A-list agents, score writing jobs for major network television and studio films, receive career-boosting prizes from major contests, attract stars like William H. Macy to their projects, procure financing from enthusiastic producers and win GLAAD Awards.

Treat yourself to the kind of dynamic consultation you would expect from a Sundance insider.
