Hi there,
I am an experienced writer and editor for all demographics and genres in literature, IBM SAP Services, film, television, and stage.
The following will determine the spec screenplay's credibility.
1. Who is/are the main character(s), and what do they want?
2. What are the characters' relationships like, and what obstacles must the main characters encounter and overcome to get what they want?
3. In the end, do the main characters get what they want? Is it good or bad for them if they did or did not? (Related: did they get what they need)?
4. Why should your reader demographics care? What makes us want to continue reading?
5. What do the main characters need? How does that differ from what they want when we first get introduced to them?
6. Why now? Why is this happening to the characters at this moment? What event, what conditions exist today for this story to take place? Why not yesterday or next year?
7. What are the main characters' wounds/aches? What are the flaws of the main characters? What is the jeopardy? The danger? The price?
8. What do the characters fear most? What shuts them down emotionally? What breaks them into a sweat?
9. Do you have a satisfying ending? Not happy, not sad, etc., but a satisfying conclusion.
For an additional fee:
A) Write a written film industry-standard pitch.
B) Submit the written film industry-standard solicited pitch to Agents and Film Executives'.
Best,
Kevin
