A bespoke script consultation service designed to take your screenplay to the next level.

Founded by London based script consultant Joe Jeffreys, a film industry professional with over ten years of development and acquisitions experience, this is a collaborative platform designed to work closely with writers, producers and directors, helping to develop and shape their projects with current commercial tastes in mind.

Vision

This isn’t your typical script consultation. This is a process utilizing current industry knowledge, to help shape your script in line with current trends, helping filmmakers make that crucial leap when presenting to development funds, private equity and financiers.

Context

Screenwriting is an artform, regardless of what some might say. The ability to shape stories on the page, ready to be translated onto the screen, is a skill just a complex and various as any other form of storytelling. Crucially, as a collaborative medium, this skill needs to be aimed at creating a clear, visionary blueprint for others to follow and for audiences to engage with. This outcome is what The Script Collective was established to help filmmakers achieve.

As an active participant in the industry, Joe has developed a keen understanding of these trends, alongside a broad understanding of the tennants of screenwriting, having worked alongside renowned companies such as Revolution Films, Warp Films and Recorded Picture Company.

Outcome

The Process

After submitting your script you will receive a detailed, holistic evaluation of your script, providing constructive, focused feedback on plot, structure, dialogue, character development, themes as well as separate insight into the scripts commercial prospects based on current theatrical trends. 

This will be a constructive, collaborative process designed to improve your script, pushing past surface level feedback by providing, in depth, informed and evolved feedback.
