I consult on script development for independent producers, filmmakers, and screenwriters

I have a specific approach to script analysis designed to give producers insight into the moving parts of the film. I help them to get the most out of the script whilst keeping it within the budget range of the production.

My goal is to show producers development techniques that give better results in fewer rewrites.

I offer my services as part of the Script Compass development team. An award-winning team dedicated to providing professional script development to emergent talent. I also have a small private practice working as a development consultant for independent producers.

This is what my clients say about me

“Following Clive’s process, I overcame the bewilderment writers often feel before we outline. Clive’s feedback points out what is working and what isn’t. He highlights issues of clarity and consistency. Thanks to Clive I have written a script I’m proud of, and I’m grateful for the experience of working with him.”

“Clive’s feedback transforms projects faster than any consultant I’ve ever worked with. He has the ability to rapidly pinpoint the flaws and the opportunities in each script. Writers make consistent, measurable progress when they engage with him and his process. - Byron McNally - Producer
