Script Analysis – In-Depth Feedback on Your Screenplay
I offer comprehensive script analysis for feature films and TV pilots, based on methods used by professional screenwriters and dramaturges in Hollywood. My analysis focuses on structure, character development, thematic depth, and dramatic choices—providing concrete insights on how to elevate your script to the next level.
With experience as both a screenwriter and an editor, I bring a unique perspective to storytelling. I don’t just evaluate what works on the page—I understand how it translates to the screen. Drawing from dramaturgical frameworks by Frank Daniel, Chris Vogler, Jen Grisanti, Blake Snyder, and Michael Hauge, I combine theoretical expertise with practical insights.
Whether you have a first draft or a polished script ready for pitching or production, I provide tailored feedback to help you refine your story and enhance its emotional and dramatic impact.
