Home / Screen and stage

From the page to the script, and into the room.

Adapting a book into a screenplay, polishing a screenplay you already have, and putting it in front of filmmakers, producers and theater companies.

How this one works, plainly.

A film gets made when a producer finds the money. That decision is outside the reach of any agency. What is on offer here is the script and the introduction, not the production.

What is never promised

  • That a film or production will be made
  • That funding or a subsidy will be obtained
  • That a festival or lab will select the project
  • That a named producer will respond

Adaptation, development, placement.

Screenplay assessment

Your existing script read the way a producer reads it: structure, pace, budget implications, cast appeal, and an honest view of which companies would plausibly want it.

Adaptation from the book

Turning your novel or memoir into a feature or series screenplay, or into a stage script, working from the book with you across drafts.

Script polish

Taking a draft that is nearly there and sharpening it: dialogue, scene economy, act structure, and the first ten pages that decide whether anyone reads the rest.

Pitch package

Logline, one-page synopsis, treatment, comparable titles and a director or cast wish list, assembled as the document a production company expects.

Placement with filmmakers

Approaching production companies, independent filmmakers, theatre companies and festival labs where the material genuinely fits, and reporting back on every response.

Option and rights negotiation

If an option, a production or a stage licence is offered, negotiating the terms and managing the agreement, with a co-agent in that territory where needed.
