EVERY GOOD WRITER HAS A GOOD READER
For established screenwriters, it’s often a producer, a spouse, or a fellow screenwriter. Whoever it is must be objective and fluent in the language of screenwriting. Austin Film Festival’s Script Coverage and Consultation Programs provide you with a reader who will pull back the curtain and show you exactly how the industry will gauge a script’s power and functionality. Rewriting, restructuring and re-envisioning is a challenging process, and everyone deserves support and insight along the way.

DON’T JUMP INTO THE FIRE…
Yet. These programs give you a dress rehearsal before the big night, so you can work out kinks and build up confidence. Because your script gets one shot when it hits the Hollywood system, its entry has to be spectacular and potent. The Hollywood coverage system won’t share why your script is or isn’t moving forward, but our programs will give you all those notes and more. You will also receive critique and solutions.

Coverage Program: Perfect for early drafts of scripts and anytime you need another set of eyes to really dissect your story with very specific page and line notes.

Script Consultation Program: Great for any stage of development and anytime you need to talk through the bigger issues in your script.
