THE CONCEPT GAME PLAN

STOP GUESSING IF YOUR IDEA
IS STRONG ENOUGH.

A screenplay is a huge investment of time, energy and hope. Make sure the concept underneath it is doing enough of the work.

Is your screenplay idea strong enough?
THE QUESTION

YOU HAVE AN IDEA. BUT IS IT A MOVIE?

Great scripts don’t start with formatting, dialogue or even structure. They start with a concept that can generate conflict, momentum, character pressure and enough story to sustain the journey.
A lot of writers have a world, a character, a theme, a twist or a feeling — but they’re not yet sure whether it adds up to a compelling feature or pilot.

The Concept Game Plan is designed to help you find out.

WHAT IT IS

Two one-hour calls, two weeks apart

CALL ONE · EXPLORATION
We unpack the idea, identify what’s working, spot the weak points and find the dramatic engine that can keep the story moving.
CALL TWO · REFINEMENT
After you’ve had time to rethink or rework the concept, we help sharpen the premise, clarify the conflict and work out the best next step.

HUMAN CRAFTED COVERAGE AND REWRITES. ALWAYS.

AI can read your script in 5 minutes. It can't tell you whether your story works — it's never had to make one work.

Every report we deliver is read, considered, and written by a produced screenwriter. No shortcuts. No summary dressed up as notes.

Your script deserves a reader with skin in the game.

Our work doesn’t just amplify the average — it elevates the exceptional.

Let's craft wonder together

NOT JUST CONCEPT FEEDBACK

A CREATIVE GAME PLAN

REAL SCREENWRITERS ONLY

Developed by someone who's done it

Your idea is developed with someone who understands story from the inside — not generic notes from someone who has never wrestled a script into shape.
STORY ENGINE FIRST

We test the engine, not the hook

We look past the surface hook and test whether the concept has enough conflict, pressure and momentum to sustain a feature or pilot.
GENRE-AWARE, NOT GENERIC

Different genres need different fuel

A horror premise, a comedy pilot and a prestige drama all need different kinds of fuel. We help you clarify the promise your audience is buying into.
CLEAR NEXT STEPS

You leave knowing what to do

Sharpen the logline, rethink the protagonist, build a treatment, create a beat sheet or move into the draft.
WHAT’S INCLUDED

EVERYTHING IN THE GAME PLAN

Two one-hour development calls — work directly with a professional screenwriter over two focused video sessions.
Concept stress-testing — pressure-test the conflict, character pressure, stakes and story engine.
Genre and audience positioning — think through what kind of story this really is and where it can feel fresh.
Actionable next steps — know whether to write a treatment, beat sheet, outline or first draft next.
Follow-up support — ask three free follow-up questions by email after your final call.
TWO OPTIONS AT CHECKOUT

$347

Standard — about 14 days turnaround.

$427

3-day rush, not including weekends.
IS THIS THE RIGHT SERVICE FOR YOUR IDEA?

HONESTLY, SOMETIMES IT ISN’T

THIS IS FOR YOU IF…
You have a movie or TV idea but aren’t sure if it’s strong enough.
You have a character or world, but not yet a clear story.
You keep starting drafts and losing momentum.
You want professional input before investing months in pages.
You need help turning a loose premise into a sharper dramatic engine.
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF…
You already have a full draft and want detailed notes on the script itself.
You want someone to write or rewrite the material for you.
You’re looking for a guarantee that the idea will sell.
If that’s you, one of these is the better fit:
HOW IT WORKS

TWO FOCUSED CALLS. ONE STRONGER IDEA.

A practical route from loose concept to writeable story plan.
STEP 01

Book your first session

Choose a time that works and book your first one-hour concept development call with one of our professional screenwriters.
STEP 02

Send us your idea

Bring whatever you have: a logline, premise, rough synopsis, character notes, outline or questions. It does not need to be polished.
STEP 03

Brainstorm and refine

In the first call, we explore the strengths and weak spots, then help you identify what needs sharpening before call two.
STEP 04

Shape your next move

In the second call, we turn the stronger concept into a clearer plan for a treatment, beat sheet, outline or first draft.
STEP 05

Keep moving

After your final call, use your three follow-up questions by email to stay on track and keep momentum.

QUESTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is my idea too early for this?

Not necessarily. This service is designed for early-stage ideas. You don’t need a polished treatment or outline. A premise, logline, rough synopsis or messy set of notes can be enough to start with.

What should I prepare before the first call?

Bring anything that helps us understand the idea: a logline, synopsis, notes, character ideas, genre references, outline or questions. The more you bring, the more focused we can be, but it does not need to be perfect.

Is this the same as script coverage?

No. Script Coverage is for a completed draft. The Concept Game Plan is for the idea before the draft.

Will you write the concept for me?

No. This is a development and guidance service. We’ll help you shape, test and strengthen your idea, but the writing remains yours.

Can you guarantee the idea will sell?

No — and you should be wary of anyone who says they can. What we can do is help you build the strongest possible foundation before you start writing.

How quickly can I get started?

The standard option runs to about a 14-day turnaround. If you need it sooner, there’s a 3-day rush option at checkout for $427 (not including weekends).

What happens after the two calls?

You’ll have a clearer version of your concept and a practical next step. That might be writing a treatment, building a beat sheet, starting a draft, booking mentorship, or moving into Script Coverage once you have pages.

I’m not paying you to feed this into AI, am I?

Nope. Your concept will be developed with a real working screenwriter. Everything we do is Human Crafted.
START WITH A STRONGER IDEA

BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO THE DRAFT, MAKE SURE THE CONCEPT IS DOING ENOUGH OF THE WORK.
