Do you have an idea for a film or already have a script written? Wonder if it's got legs?

Script Evaluation includes: one page of typed comments, an annotated script, and a 30-minute discussion session. (The discussion can be in person or, via e-mail.)

Evaluation of creative writing and poetry is also available. Inquire for more information.
