Option Two: Screenplay Surgery

Service Description

A focused 45-minute online session designed to tackle one specific problem in your screenplay or screen project. If you are stuck on a structural issue, uncertain about a character, struggling with an ending, questioning a story choice or simply need an experienced outside perspective, Screenplay Surgery gives you concentrated time to work through the problem and identify a practical way forward. The session is deliberately focused. Rather than trying to cover the whole project, we concentrate on the issue that is causing the most difficulty and explore it in depth. What’s Included • 45-minute online consultation • Focus on one clearly defined story or screenplay problem • Collaborative discussion and problem-solving • Practical, actionable guidance • Clear next steps for your rewrite or development No full script reading is required in advance. You are welcome to send a short synopsis, logline or brief outline of the issue beforehand if this helps provide context. Who It’s For Screenplay Surgery is ideal for writers who do not necessarily need ongoing mentoring but want targeted help with a specific creative challenge. Typical issues might include: • A protagonist who feels passive • A second act that loses momentum • An ending that is not landing • A character relationship that lacks tension • Uncertainty about structure or point of view • A project that feels stuck between film and television • A rewrite that has reached an impasse The aim is to leave the session with greater clarity, renewed momentum and a practical route back into the screenplay.
