Professional script development is the fastest and most reliable way to take a script from raw potential to greenlight. It is also the industry’s most tightly guarded secret. There is way more to development than producers throwing around opinions and suggestions in the vain hope that the writer will find answers.
Professional script development is highly organised, and it allows writers to make quantum leaps with each pass. It’s also completely objective.
In this session, Clive Frayne will reveal the secret methods of script analysis and development that allow his company to take any script and have it ready to put in front of talent and investors in between three to six months.
This process empowers writers to make all the creative decisions, let’s producers develop the script they need to match their plans for finance and production, and it’s painless. No tears, no arguments, no tedious debates about how to fix the script… just a simple analysis of what’s not working and clear objectives for the next pass.
Clive will show you how to mark up a script without ever expressing a subjective opinion. He will also show you how to use the data this process provides to accurately diagnose the script’s strengths and weaknesses.
He also plans to demonstrate a bulletproof set of steps to get any project from vomit draft to ready-to-show killer script painlessly.
