Screenwriting
The 80/20 rule (or Pareto, “the law of the vital few”) shapes the film industry: both money and movies, as well as the screenwriting craft.
Although every screenwriter has a personal way of developing a story, screenwriting is not a solitary endeavor. We help you maximize your value and save time through rewriting an existing screenplay, polishing specific aspects of it (e.g., structure, characterization, dialogue, pacing, image system, themes, logline, etc), finding the best 20% of your story. Most of its value comes from a few scenes. We identify the best scenes, character moments, plot twists.
Services:
logline; tagline; synopsis; story analysis; script notes; coverage
script doctoring: revision of your screenplay
story idea consultation: not every succession of events makes a good story. We help you determine whether an idea is appropriate for a film, a tv-series, or a game
CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT
Filmmaking is a fascinating, complex process, and being a part of an interesting film or game project is a thrill. We’d love to help you with your development needs, from initial concept and development, all the way through post-production and distribution. We are particularly interested in character-based hybrids, in exploring how the concept of interactivity changes the storytelling experience.
STORY TELLING AND DATA ANALYSIS
We thrive on interdisciplinary challenges. Combining background in filmmaking/screenwriting with Stanford’s design thinking (more https://dschool.stanford.edu/ ), we help you navigate the chaos, manage ambiguities, find creative confidence and pivot your project, your business, your non-profit, your social impact initiative or your brand. We are pragmatic. We do well in a fact-based environment and are passionate about the creative alliance of technology and storytelling.
