Screenplay Doctor Needed for Feature Thriller to Work on Story, Dialogue & Scene Development
Worldwide
I am looking for an experienced screenplay consultant/script doctor to help elevate an existing feature-length thriller screenplay currently titled Fatal Conspiracy. The screenplay is already written and has a complete story structure. I am not looking for someone to write the screenplay from scratch. Instead, I am looking for a creative collaborator who can help strengthen the material through script doctoring, scene development, dialogue enhancement, and overall story refinement. What I Need I want to work closely with a screenplay doctor who can: * Review the entire screenplay and identify weak areas. * Improve dialogue to make it feel more natural, compelling, and character-specific. * Develop new scenes where necessary to strengthen emotional impact and story logic. * Help connect plot points so the story feels cohesive and meaningful. * Identify pacing issues and recommend improvements. * Strengthen character arcs and motivations. * Improve suspense, tension, and dramatic payoff. * Provide professional screenplay feedback and notes. * Collaborate with me through multiple revisions. This will be an ongoing collaborative process rather than a one-time script coverage assignment. Genre * Thriller * Crime Thriller * Conspiracy Thriller * Character-Driven Drama Ideal Candidate * Proven experience writing or consulting on feature film screenplays. * Strong understanding of story structure. * Experience with thrillers, crime dramas, and suspense films. * Able to explain creative decisions clearly. * Comfortable collaborating scene-by-scene and dialogue-by-dialogue. * Experience as a script doctor, screenplay consultant, or produced screenwriter preferred. Deliverables * Detailed screenplay notes. * Scene-by-scene recommendations. * Dialogue revisions where needed. * Suggestions for new scenes and story improvements. * Ongoing collaboration throughout multiple drafts. To Apply Please include: 1. Your experience with screenplay development or script doctoring. 2. Examples of feature film projects you’ve worked on. 3. Your process for improving story structure and dialogue. 4. Your availability for ongoing collaboration. 5. Your rate (hourly or fixed-price). I am looking for someone who enjoys digging deep into story and character work and can help transform a good screenplay into an exceptional one.
