Mission Statement

Welcome to No BullScript Consulting, your one-stop script consulting company bringing a fresh new perspective to your projects – the Executive Perspective! Working as an exec in Hollywood and developing scripts and pitches with writers on the A-list, B-List, and lists that don’t even have letters, has given me a unique point of view on how to help make your script the best it can be and get it ready for the marketplace.

Along with working at different production companies, I’ve also spent the last few years working as a freelance script analyst for other consulting companies. They were great, but I never loved being tied to someone else’s format when giving my notes, plus quite frankly, I got a little tired of a middle man keeping half the money you were paying for my services. No BullScript takes out the middle man. And the difference between my company and all the others is clear - perspective, price, professionalism and personality.

I thought of a nice analogy a few months ago that basically describes what sets me apart from the many other sites and consultants out there and I call it - the American Idol effect. There are 3 basic types of executives and script consultants. There are the Paulas who love everything you do and will coddle you and tell you you’re perfect. Then there are the Randys who sit and listen (or read) and think they know everything, but all they ever really say is “wow, dawg, yo, dawg, yeah, ok…” So you never really get anything meaningful or helpful from them. And then there are the Simons. They’re a bit brash, but they know what they’re talking about, are always honest - and are usually right. And no matter how much you hate them, in the end, you change for the better because of them. I am a ‘Simon’ … though not quite as mean. But I pull no punches. I am honest but I’m also constructive and have your best interests at heart, hoping you grow into the best writer you can be. This Idol theory is what inspired the name ‘No BullScript’ and led to my new favorite saying – “Hate me today, love me in your acceptance speech.”

My analyses evaluate concept, story, plot, characters, dialogue, tone, stakes, structure, marketability and commerciality and everything else you need to make it a success. I will point out some of the scripts’ strengths, but I will focus on its weaknesses. And I won’t simply point out the problems, but will give you valuable suggestions on how to fix them. The goal of No BullScript is to not only help improve your script and develop your talent, but give you the keys to making your script more sellable in the Hollywood marketplace.

I have dedicated much of my career to finding and helping undiscovered talent and it is my goal to make you the best writer you can be, make your script as marketable and well written as it can be, and enhance it to the level where it is ready to be seen by an agent, manager or executive. I want to give you hope – but not false hope. Not every story deserves to be written and not every script is going to be good enough to recommend or even consider, no matter what changes or suggestions a consultant makes. And if it’s completely hopeless, I feel it’s my job to tell you that too and save you from spending tons of money and expending buckets of blood, sweat and tears working on a project I feel couldn’t or wouldn’t be a solid writing sample to show off your talent.

No BullScript. The name says it all. You’re going to get honest, professional, constructive and valuable feedback without the sugarcoating. Please check out the rest of the site and I look forward to working with you!
