Why Screenwriters Need Pro Script Analysis Now, More Than Ever

Why Pro Film & TV Script Analysis is Critical to Writers

There’s often an element of mystery or confusion surrounding script analysis services.

Sitting at home, watching a bad film or TV show, it’s the easiest thing in the world to play “backseat writer.”

The thinking goes:

“I could write better than that. All I have to do is write something slightly better than what I watch, and that will completely unlock my writing career.”

While this might be a useful as motivation to get started, it’s ultimately a counter-productive attitude.

Obviously, no-one sets out to make a bad film or TV show.

All those projects, however the finished product turns out, start out with a (smart) repped writer or writers trying as hard as possible.

Those agents and managers who signed the writers in the first place aren’t dumb, either: many are Ivy League graduates with serious work ethics and ambition.
