Script Starter

$25/hr Starting at $100

Brilliant ideas can't become brilliant screenplays without that first step. That's why it can be so daunting to stare at a blank page one with what will be a million decisions before it's over. I have been writing for animation, lifestyle shows, blogs, theatre and of course film for decades. I've also run a marathon. I can tell you that it's not the first step that's the hardest. It's putting on your shoes. It's deciding to finish before you start. Script Starter is an idea I came up with to take the sting out of making the initial decisions that can slow the thought process and stymy creativity. My experience in taking others ideas and turning them into a viable screenplay in a timely manner will free your mind to judge your idea objectively and decide which direction to take. The creative process doesn't have to be painful. When I worked with Howie Mandel he was always more interested in having fun than taking ourselves too seriously. My first pitch meeting ever was at a private home with the writers from Bobby's World. Known for his pranks, Howie told me there was a baby sleeping in the next room. Every time I'd get a laugh, Howie would go, "Shh, the baby!" Then they went into the room with the ostensible baby to deliberate and laughed really loud. After they came out and hired me, Howie asked what I thought about them being so loud with the baby. I said, "I didn't give a damn about the baby as long as you were laughing." We worked together on numerous scripts for years and I must say those meetings were the most fun I've ever had writing. I will bring a levity to your project with an understanding of just how hard it is to write a screenplay and incorporate your idea. Script Starter is exactly that. I will write the first ten pages of your idea for $100. Also I will be available for consultation via email for the remainder of your script. Full scripts are $5000 plus percentage based on budget.
