Your opening is crucial.  Agents, managers, studios, and production companies are swamped with submissions—and if your script doesn’t hook the reader at the outset, your first impression could be your last. The Short Critique evaluates the first ten pages of your screenplay, and provides feedback on what’s working, what’s not--and how to make your opening as compelling as possible. We’ll point out problem areas, suggest improvements, and give you our opinion on the script’s commercial potential.

The Short Critique offers a fast, low-cost way to get a professional appraisal of your material. You can use it to test our abilities before sending the entire script—or simply to get an unbiased opinion on the first ten pages before deciding whether to pursue a particular screenplay. If you then decide to submit the entire script for one of our other services, the cost of the critique will be deducted from the fee for that service—making the Short Critique free.
