PRINCIPLES AND TRICKS FOR CREATING SCRIPTS FOR FILM, TV AND THEATER.
Who am I?
I work as a scriptwriter, director and dramaturge within theater, film and TV. One of my specialties is script development, and I'm available to consult on any type of script. Since my days in playwright school, I've been driven to understand what makes drama work. My approach differs from most, as I try to reach a more fundamental understanding of a script before I give any kind of notes or advice. Often I will ask more questions than give answers.
Fees are posted further down in this column.

Consulting fees
A read and feedback – 1200 d.Kr./160 €
This is if you want a quick evaluation of your script. You mail it, I read and write back with my feedback.
A read, dialogue and feedback – 2000 d.Kr./270 €
A bit more extensive, as we will have a 2 round dialogue about your script. I read, mail you some questions about the script, you answer, I read again and give you a feedback.
Additional rounds of dialogue – 800 d.Kr./110 €
After I have read once, you can later ask for a new round of dialogue, as long as the script hasn't changed drastically. I read and respond with further questions or suggestions.
