You’ve Put in the Work. So Why Isn’t It Landing?

You’ve got the characters, the concept, the scenes you love.

But something’s not clicking, and you’re not sure what’s missing.

Sound familiar?

  • You’ve gotten generic “notes” from coverage services… but no real direction.
  • You’ve rewritten your script multiple times, but still don’t feel confident sending it out.
  • You’re not sure if your story works… structurally, emotionally, or in the current market.
  • You’ve been told you need to change aspects of your script in order to get to the next level, but you don’t know how to do it.
  • You know it could be great, but you need a second brain to help bring it to life.

What You Actually Need Is a Partner, Not a PDF.

This isn’t a coverage service.

This is a collaborative rewrite process guided by an award-winning screenwriter and story expert, built to elevate your work and your skillset.

Why Work With Neil?

When it comes to the modern movie landscape, great stories used to be the norm. Now, they are the exception to the norm.

Unfortunately, the movie industry has increasingly become an echo chamber where filmmakers are more concerned with what critics and peers think than connecting with actual audiences.

The industry needs outside voices to get back to its roots of telling good stories that resonate with the movie-watching public, rather than simply other insiders.

I’ve been working in the indie film industry for over 15 years now. During that time, I’ve worked in front of and behind the camera – at just about every position there is on a film set.

I approach every screenplay with a story-first mindset. I’ve seen first-hand that you can have all the production value in the world – cinematography, star actors, visual effects – but if the script is weak, none of it matters.

I’m not just a produced screenwriter, I’m also a working filmmaker.

Because I’ve worn so many hats, I approach every script as a writer, director, actor, cinematographer, producer, and, most importantly, audience member.

Each time I read or write a screenplay, I put myself in each one of these shoes – always asking the question: “Is this what I’m looking for?”

When the answer is yes, you know you have a good story on your hands!

💬 “So… What’s the Catch?”

There isn’t one.

If we work together, I don’t stop until your script is market-ready.

You’ll have a polished, professional draft and the confidence to pitch it.

No ghostwriting. No fluff. Just results.

Still On the Fence? Here’s What You’ll Get From the Call:

  • Fast, pro feedback on your concept, hook, and first page
  • Clarity on what’s working and what’s not
  • An honest recommendation on whether this method is the right fit

No pressure. No hard sell. If it’s a match, we’ll get to work. If not, you’ll leave with more clarity than you came in with.

After fours years of script re-writes, I’d officially lost perspective on my project, and it was time to outsource. I’d come across Neil … and asked him to come up with some script notes. His work was fast, and most importantly helped me see things that I couldn’t. He has a great eye for detail, story, and structure. He’s on my speed dial for the next adventure.

Neil’s work as a script consultant allowed us to find not only the voices of the characters in our script, but bring them to life in an original way.

Questions About The Method

Get answers to a list of the most Frequently Asked Questions.

Most coverage gives you a scorecard and generic notes, then leaves you to figure it out alone. With Rewrite to Greenlight, you get access to my methodology along with unlimited direct access to me throughout the 90 days, so you can ask questions, share pages, and get feedback whenever you need it.

Screenwriters who already have a completed or almost-finished script but know it’s not quite ready for agents, producers, or contests. If you’ve had mixed feedback, stalled rewrites, or notes that didn’t translate into results, this program is built for you.

I’ll give you detailed notes and help you implement them. That means brainstorming with you, suggesting fixes, and helping you problem-solve when you hit a wall – so you never feel stuck.

Yes. I’ve worked on dramas, thrillers, comedies, horror, sci-fi, action, and more. If it’s a story meant to entertain and engage, I can help you make it stronger.

Definitely. Most coverage points out problems but doesn’t tell you how to fix them. My process turns vague notes into a clear, actionable rewrite plan. Plus, you get direct access to me at any time, so you always have a brainstorming partner!

We’ll talk about your script, where it’s getting stuck, and your goals for it. We’ll read the first page together, and I’ll give you my professional feedback right on the spot. You’ll walk away with clear, actionable ideas to strengthen your story, we end up working together or not.
