Build the story
before the draft.

That's the right time. Most script services need you to arrive with a draft, which means you've already made a thousand structural decisions alone and in the dark. I'd rather meet you before that, when the idea is still soft enough to shape.

Coverage evaluates what you've written. This builds what you haven't.

Nobody scores your pages, ranks your logline, or hands you a list of problems to go fix by yourself. We face the same blank space and design the thing together.

Fifteen minutes. No pitch deck required.

You tell me what you're circling. I tell you whether I think I'm useful to it. Sometimes the answer is no.

It's a conversation about fit, not an audition or a free sample of the work.

Three kinds of writer.

One who has a finished draft and wants an opinion on it. That's notes, and there are good people who do notes.

One who wants to be told the idea is great.

And one who won't do the work between sessions, because that's where the story actually gets built.

I bring the questions. You still have to answer them.

Yes. The method is about the audience's experience, not page count, so it doesn't much care what format you're working in.

What changes is the deliverable and the calendar.

The Foundation ends with a treatment for the season. The Structure ends with a synopsis of every episode plus a full outline of the pilot. That's more work between sessions than a feature asks for, so the spacing stretches to hold it.

We'll set the shape on the free call.

Sixty minutes on video. Six sessions across nine weeks for The Foundation, and five across eight weeks for The Structure. Television may take longer.

One pause of up to a month is fine. Everything finishes within a month of the planned end.

The spacing is deliberate. The gaps are where the thinking and writing happen.

You send me your work two days before each session. I read it and send a brief response ahead of the call, so our hour starts with the work already in motion.

Then we move the session.

If your materials aren't with me two days before we meet, the call is rescheduled. No exceptions.

That isn't a penalty. It's arithmetic. I can't do my half without your half, and an hour spent discussing what you would have written is an hour neither of us wanted.

You need to be able to write. You don't need to arrive knowing the treatment form.

Before you start yours, I'll give you a small set of treatment references and a short guide to the form. By then, we've already built the story, the structure and the audience journey together.

Your job is to write it. Mine is to make sure the treatment actually delivers the movie we designed.

From The Foundation, a treatment you can send out.

Not a draft of a treatment. Not notes toward one. A finished version of the story at treatment scale, ready to go to a producer, director, collaborator or into the next stage of development.

You'll also keep the work behind it, plus a revision map for anything you want to push further. The treatment is the result of the engagement, not a project that begins after it.

The Structure goes one level deeper: a comprehensive outline of the film and the finished grid behind it, checked back against the foundation so the shape and the meaning are still making the same argument.

No.

The Foundation ends when session six ends, and it's built to stand alone.

You can also come directly into The Structure with a treatment you already believe in. If you finish The Foundation and it makes sense to keep going, we'll talk about it then.

The Foundation is $3,000. The Structure is $2,500.

Pay in full by card or bank transfer, or split it at checkout with Klarna.

The fee is for the engagement as a whole, not a per-session rate. Booking commits the full fee.

You do. All of it.

I take no credit, no ownership, no participation, and no claim on anything that comes out of the work: not the treatment, not the outline, not the film.

You're hiring a set of questions, not a partner.

Yes.

Your agreement already includes a confidentiality clause. If you’d rather use your own NDA, send it before you share anything and I’ll sign it.

Yes, with at least 24 hours' notice.

Late materials trigger a reschedule automatically, as above.

Yes, and the recording is yours.

Partly so you're not taking notes when you should be thinking. Partly because the thing you half-said in minute forty is often the thing worth going back for.
