Services
Writing a screenplay can be an exciting but challenging process. Whether you are starting with a simple idea, working on a first draft, or developing a screenplay for production, having an experienced perspective can make a significant difference in how a story evolves.
Each project is different, so the services below are designed to support writers at different stages of the creative process.
All sessions are 90 minutes long. A Full Script Reading service (US$150) is recommended if your material is longer than 25 pages.
Idea-to-Script Consultation Service
Let's Develop your Movide Idea!
Many great films start with a simple idea — a situation, a character, or a question that sparks curiosity. But transforming that initial spark into a story that can sustain a full screenplay requires structure, dramatic tension, and a clear narrative direction.
The Idea to Movie script Session is designed to help you explore and develop your concept so it can evolve into a compelling cinematic story.
During this session we will analyze your idea together and explore key storytelling elements such as:
The central premise of the story
The protagonist and their dramatic goal
The core conflict and stakes
Genre and tone
Possible narrative structure
The overall cinematic potential of the idea
Ideal for:
Writers with a film idea they want to develop
Aspiring screenwriters starting their first project
Authors exploring story concepts
Creators who want professional guidance before writing a screenplay
*Please note that if you need to provide notes, research or any kind of text, Andy will read up to 25 pages of your material prior to the session. If you would like him to read all your content (up to 120 pages), please consider adding the Full Script Reading service.
Idea-to-Script Consultation Service Price: US$150
Script Doctor Service
Professional feedback on your screenplay
If you have already started writing a screenplay, receiving professional feedback can be one of the most valuable steps in the development process. The Script Consultation service is designed to provide focused analysis and constructive feedback on your work so you can better understand the strengths of your story and identify areas that may need improvement.
Before our meeting, I will read up to 25 pages of your screenplay and prepare notes that we will discuss during our session. The conversation will focus on helping you clarify the dramatic structure of your story and offering practical suggestions for moving forward.
During the consultation we may explore topics such as:
-
Story structure and narrative progression
-
Character motivation and dramatic goals
-
Conflict and stakes
-
pacing and narrative rhythm
-
Clarity of theme and tone
If you would like feedback on your complete screenplay, a Full Script Reading can be added prior to the consultation.
The goal of this session is not only to identify issues, but to provide clear direction so you can approach your next draft with confidence.
Ideal for
- Writers with a first draft of a screenplay
- Writers who feel stuck in the middle of a script
- Filmmakers preparing a project for development
- Creators seeking professional feedback before rewriting
Script Doctor Service - One Session Price: US$250

Screenwriting Services
Professional screenplay writing
Some projects require a professional writer to transform an idea or concept into a fully developed screenplay.
I offer scriptwriting and ghostwriting services for selected projects, collaborating with creators, producers, or companies to develop original cinematic stories.
Each project is different, so the process begins with a free introductory meeting where we discuss:
-
The concept of the project
-
The scope of the work
-
Expectations and timeline
-
The creative collaboration process
After this conversation, I will provide a proposal outlining the development process and a quote for the project.
This service is designed for projects that require a professional screenwriter capable of developing a story from concept to screenplay while maintaining a strong cinematic vision.
Ideal for
-
Producers developing film projects
-
Creators with strong concepts who need a professional writer
-
Companies or individuals developing original stories for film

Adaptation Services
Converting existing stories into a film
Adapting existing material into a screenplay is a unique creative challenge. A novel, short story, biography, or real-life event often contains rich narrative elements, but translating those elements into a cinematic structure requires careful selection, transformation, and storytelling decisions.
The Adaptation Consultation is designed to help you explore how a piece of source material can become a compelling film narrative.
During this session we will analyze the material and identify the key dramatic elements that could support a screenplay, including:
The central dramatic spine of the story
The protagonist and their emotional journey
The main conflict and narrative stakes
How the material might be structured for film
Potential narrative approaches for adaptation
This consultation can help clarify whether a story has strong cinematic potential and how it might be approached from a screenwriting perspective. For this service, I will read up to 25 pages per session. If deeper analysis of the complete script or material is required, a Full Script Reading can be added.
Ideal for
Authors interested in adapting their own work
Producers exploring intellectual property for film
Writers interested in adapting true stories or existing material
Adaptation Services Price: TBD

When you book any service, you receive more than just general feedback. Each meeting is designed to provide focused analysis and practical guidance that helps move your project forward.
The program will include:
Professional feedback on your project.
Analysis/sugestions/ideas of structure, character and conflict
Practical suggestions for development
Discussion of narrative possibilities and creative direction
Answers to your specific questions about the project
All sessions last up to 90 minutes and take place online, allowing enough time to explore your story in depth and identify clear next steps.
The goal is not only to evaluate the material, but to help you understand how your story can become a stronger and more compelling film narrative.

Working together is simple. The process is designed to give you clear feedback and practical guidance so you can continue developing your story with confidence.
