Get professional feedback on your short film script.

“I got so many great ideas and feedback from KTS that it felt like they were in my corner, like they were a producing partner that was invested in my project.”
— Luke C.

Writing a short film is an art. You have to cram an entire story with well-developed characters, excellent dialogue, and memorable scenes into only a few pages. Plus, you have to tell a story that is compelling enough to convince actors and crew to help you bring your movie to life on a limited budget.

That’s why professional script notes are so important. Yes, your friends and family can provide feedback, but it’s unlikely they’re drawing from decades of experience.

At Key to Storytelling, we’re committed to giving you comprehensive feedback to strengthen your script and help you become a better writer. Our notes address all the major elements of story including premise, structure, character, dialogue, voice, and writing style.

You’ve spent a massive amount of time on your script, now let us help you turn it into a stellar script that’s ready to shoot.
