Professional Industry Screenplay Coverage vs. Countless Online Script
Readers!
There's an endless supply of self-appointed script readers, or "gurus"
as they are commonly termed, that you've never heard of before your
Google search. They'll provide a screenwriter with their notes, online
consultations, phone meetings, advice, etc. but ironically they’ve never
made a commercial movie that you can rent at Blockbuster, Netflix, or
iTunes, though they are somehow qualified to analyze your script! The
bottom line is that if you're sending your spec screenplay into any
production house, motion picture studio, talent agency, or to a name
actor, or producer, 9 times out of 10 the script will be read by an
underpaid, underappreciated college intern, office receptionist, or
junior production assistant. This is just a fact of life as there are
way too many scripts coming into these places.
These assistants are the gatekeepers to their bosses and more often than
not they pass on the material. If you are lucky, they read your script
and provide "script coverage." This script coverage is basically what
amounts to a "book report" of your script: a basic synopsis of the story
and a quick review of what they thought of the plot, characters,
storyline, action, budget level, and more. They rate the project (PASS,
CONSIDER, or RECOMMEND) and that becomes your fate, most likely forever
with that company as it resides on their computers for years to come
making it very difficult to resubmit the script.
Then in turn, that same script coverage gets read by the talent agent,
producer, actor, or manager. Script coverage is a lot quicker to read
than a whole script, and these folks have very little free time, or are
already reading scripts sent to them with financing, actors, or other
talent attached that makes them a priority over your script. Truly,
there are several piles of scripts in their offices...ones that are
fully financed with offers attached, scripts that have excellent
coverage and may have attachments, too, and finally those scripts that
have nothing yet. Which would you read first if you were an agent or
manager?
If your script doesn't make it past this one underpaid, script reader
and in turn given decent script coverage, it won't get to the agent,
producer, director, or actor you desire.
Seismic Scripts will provide you with real, industry script coverage
that will help you improve your screenplay and increase the probability
that it will get past the script reader and to the person with real
power. When your script comes in, Robert Schwartz will personally read
it and write a script coverage report himself, not some anonymous script
reader that you know nothing about or what their experience is in the
business. What good is script coverage if you have no idea of the source
or experience of the person writing it?
Seismic Scripts will provide you with that "litmus test" of your
screenplay and show you where your script succeeds, and where it could
use some attention. Mr. Schwartz will be straightforward and honest with
you, as he provides you with the information you cannot get from a
typical script reader who has never made a film. As an experienced
producer, Mr. Schwartz will also look at your screenplay from a
strategic and financial point of view, helping you understand what steps
you need to consider in order to get your project moving forward and
raise it to a higher level.
Receiving screenplay coverage from Seismic Scripts is the fastest and
smartest way for screenwriters, directors, and producers to get
essential feedback on what's working and what's not in their screenplay.
After you spend all the hard work it takes to create a draft of your
story, you need intelligent, detailed coverage to take your project to
the next step.
