SCRIPT REVIEW HOLLYWOOD SCREENWRITER SCREENWRITER SCREENWRITER

About me

With my Hard Science Fiction genre base, and "standard Hollywood screenwriting" expertise, I can help out in polishing your script, whether in English, or in Marathi and Hindi as well.

Also, I can offer review and coverage for a screenplay, but only if you are the Talent who is being offered a role in that project. I have seen the otherwise laudable skills of several top-rated major acting talent come to grief at the box-office because of sub-par scripts, several that were wanting in plot and structure even at a cursory glance.

I do not expect any conflict of interest issues to arise in this assistance, since my genre being hard Sci-Fi, happens to be out of the scope of all work going on in the Marathi or Hindi Film Industry.

The nature of my input would be in terms of the screenplay genre, plot and structure, characters and characterisation, and dialogue. Additionally, I would be putting your work through the "Hero's Journey" assessment.
