Call us before you invest another $ in Development!
We're here to help you do what you LOVE to do by doing what WE LOVE to do, too!
Watch the credits at the end of any film, and you immediately realize: IT TAKES A VILLAGE!
If you're not an expert at vetting every line of dialogue and every action line of a screenplay (few are), and would like an INDEPENDENT assessment of a script AND its commercial potential. We can help! Hire us for one project or to provide coverage and an ECONOMIC POTENTIAL ANALYSIS on multiple projects. If you green-light a project for development, we can produce budgets, assess the project's potential for tax credits, and often deliver them prior to your shoot.
Green-lighting a script is a BUSINESS DECISION. We understand it starts with a great script. However, there's no way to overestimate the value of above-the-line talent to drive profits. Are the costs of these collaborators in the budget? What genre is it? Who wants it or needs it? Does a co-producing partner have a mandate you can help fill? How did similar films do when marketed to your audience? Do they make money?
All this drives the question of how much to pay for the IP and helps you decide whether to pay for it.
We'll do the research on ALL of this for you and provide an independent assessment to help you make an informed business decision—EXERCISE THE OPTION—or NOT?

From the Author:
My favorite novels offer great characters engaged in difficult struggles, have multiple plot lines that are skillfully interwoven, and have plenty of "new" information and ideas. I love political thrillers, spiritual thrillers, and well-written, smart (not gory) supernatural fiction. I grew up enjoying mainstream fiction writers like Clancy and Crichton, James Clavell and Malachi Martin while also feasting on the more philosophical works of Tolstoy, the writings of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the political speeches of Lincoln, JFK, RFK, and Reagan (thank you, Peggy Noonan). I also devoured the works of just about everything spiritual, from The Bible to Fulton Sheen's Life of Christ to the Mahabharata. Other titles I've found interesting are The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, and The Shack by William P. Young. I am also a lifelong student of Advaita Vedanta and a certified yoga instructor.
I have worked in the trenches of politics, including serving as the Chief of Staff of one of the largest county political organizations in the country and as a consultant and campaign manager in county, state-wide, and federal races, including working with a sitting vice president, a very prominent NYC mayor (with whom I spent lots of time in Gracie Mansion, one of the settings in my new screenplay and novel (THE MIRRORS), candidates for governor and state comptroller, congress and the senate, and countless other candidates, and wanna-bees.
I have seen laws made and seen them broken. I have communed with saints and fallen into the riotous company of sinners. I have laughed and cried, been bent, broken, and by God's grace have risen again. Along the way, the cut of my crow's feet deepened, but so did my faith. I am at peace now because my soul has found the one whom it loves: my Julia.
