| Q: |
|
How is Hollywood Medic’s
script analysis and coverage different from others? |
| |
|
|
| A: |
|
At Hollywood Medic we use working Hollywood writers to read your scripts NOT
readers. These professional script doctors are the same writers that movie
studios use to "doctor" and rewrite their scripts. Also, we don't waste space
retelling your story back to you. We simply jump in with what we love and what
we feel should be improved. Our script doctors strongly believe that every
story has the potential to be a great script! No matter how big or small the
story. |
