STUDIO-LEVEL SCRIPT ANALYSIS and DEVELOPMENT NOTES by PRODUCED WRITER.
Paul Young is the original writer of the Warner Bros. feature BORN TO BE
WILD (a Billboard Top Ten Video Hit), his spec script GREATAMERICA was bought
by Robert Redford/Wildwood, and his screenplay adaptation of the critically-acclaimed
novel MENDEL'S DWARF is to be produced by Barwood Films, with Barbara Streisand
as Executive Producer. He also is a script consultant whose clients include
Academy Award nominees for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay
and Best Adapted Screenplay, and the Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the
Cannes Film Festival.
Mr. Young provides in-depth analysis that identifies the strengths and
weaknesses of a script, provides detailed solutions for all creative problems,
and supplies a complete range of development proposals that functions as
A GUIDE THROUGH THE REVISION PROCESS. This guarantees the best possible
script in the minimum number of drafts, and ensures that screenplays will
not go into the marketplace with hidden or unresolved creative limitations
- a form of script insurance.
His industry clients and projects include Academy Award Nominee, writer/director
Peter Jackson - THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING and THE
TWO TOWERS, and HEAVENLY CREATURES; BREAKING THE WAVES, winner of the Grand
Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival; SHILOH (Warner Bros.), which spawned
SHILOH 2, and the Stan Lee/Fox project TOMORROW.
The service comes in several forms, from a two-page set of Story Notes,
to a 15-20-page Screenplay Analysis and follow-up one-hour telephone story
conference, with fees ranging from $200.00 to $500.00. His website contains
a 25-PAGE SAMPLE SCREENPLAY ANALYSIS, as well as screenwriting endorsements
