 Want solid career guidance to take your script or project to the next level?  Who Doesn’t??!

I wish someone had told me how things worked in Hollywood.  So now I'm going to share with you what I've learned that will help you navigate Hollywood saving time and effort and getting you that success you deserve.  Hollywood is inundated with those promising to improve the quality of your script.  Most writers feel a traditional Script Consultant’s feedback doesn’t necessarily help you sell or build your career writing for TV or Film.  This is where I come in.   I not only help improve your script or concept, I
give you solid guidance on how to take you script to the next level creatively, and within business, increasing your chances of selling your project. 
FOR WRITERS, DIRECTORS, AND PRODUCERS!

I’m not a Script Consultant.  I’m a Build-Your-Career Manager, Producer, & Packager

My goal is to bring out the heart of your idea or script in a "sellable" way and give advice on how to move the project forward using a comprehensive approach, like:

-       STORY BUILDING BLOCKS: Make you're story, Hollywood ready!
-       THE ONE-SHEET:  An industry standard.  How to create one.
-       AGENTS/MANAGERS:  Nothing happens without one.  How do you get one?
-       INSIDER INFO:  Acquiring knowledge about Studios, Networks etc.  How do you find their contact info and what they’re looking for?
-       PACKAGING:  Make your project more appealing to Hollywood by learning how to attach sellable elements  to your project.
-       AND MORE...

My experience packaging at ICM, managing A list literary talent and developing high-profile projects as a producer and executive, has put me in a prime position to help others looking to get their projects off the ground, but simply don’t know how.  Just understand…
I DON’T TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW, I TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.

If you’re interested in knowing the no-BS facts (brutal as they are), understand the hard work and dedication it takes, and are willing to sell your “soul” to Hollywood - in a good way – our career services are for you.  My services are for those ready to sell and to commit to the tasks put before you.

What does a consultation with me look like?
Let’s start with a GMT True Story – written in the vein of “See Spot Run”:
  • GMT once meet a bartender.
  • GMT read the bartender’s writing and liked it, but it needed work.
  • GMT worked with the bartender, advising on story, treatment and pitch, and managed her career moves.
  • GMT and bartender sold the show to ABC.
  • GMT’s bartender friend is now major Showrunner, and has a deal with Paramount. (Credits, Revenge, Bates Motel, and more)

Every success story is different as every project comes complete with its own needs and challenges.  Which is why no book or seminar or conference will truly be able to help YOU sell YOUR idea or script.  So, you won’t just receive 5-10 pages of scribbled coverage here.  In even my most basic consultation, we set a time to sit down for up to 90 minutes, face to face or over Skype, and hash out what works, what doesn’t, and we end with a task you’ll need to complete before our follow-up call.

If you don’t see what you’re looking for below, in terms of services offered, go CUSTOM-CONSULTATION: Send a message detailing what your looking for and we’ll custom create your GMT Consultation & Career Service!
