Screenwriter and Script Consultant, Honest Coverage That Helps
About this Gig
Cum Laude grad and produced working screenwriter and director, giving you real coverage.
I've spent years reading and covering scripts the way agencies, managers, and production companies actually do it, not generic "I liked it" feedback, but real industry coverage: synopsis, structural analysis, and an honest Recommend, Consider, or Pass call.
I'm also a volunteer screener and juror for several film festivals, including Oscar-qualifying festivals like Dances With Films, work I've done for 4 years. That means your script gets read with the same eye I use to help decide what actually makes it into a festival program.
Background: BA in Screenwriting from CSUN (cum laude, Arts Council Screenwriting Award), produced and award-winning writer and director (Grief, Born A Snake), and hands-on script coverage experience through my own production company, MDLA Films.
You get honest, specific notes on what's working and why, no padding, so you can use them on your next draft. All genres welcome, especially drama, comedy, and character-driven work.

FAQ
What format should I send my script in?
PDF or Final Draft (.fdx), industry-standard screenplay format.
Do you cover TV pilots?
Yes, half-hour and hour-long pilots both welcome.
Will you tell me if my script is good?
I'll give you an honest Recommend, Consider, or Pass and tell you exactly why, that's the point of real coverage.
What makes your coverage different?
I read for Oscar-qualifying festivals like Dances With Films as a volunteer screener and juror, so your script gets read with the same eye that decides what actually makes it into a festival program, not just generic notes.
How many pages of notes will I get?
It depends on the script. I never pad notes to hit a page count or cut them short to stay under one, you get exactly what the script needs, no more, no less.
