Producer's Coverage vs. Countless Online Script Readers! Here's what you need to consider. There's an endless supply of self-appointed screenplay readers, doctors, or "gurus" as they are commonly termed, that you've never heard of before your Google search. They'll provide a screenwriter with their notes, online consultations, phone meetings, advice, etc. but ironically they’ve never made a commercial movie that you've seen in the movie theater or can rent at Blockbuster, Netflix, or iTunes, though they are somehow qualified to analyze your script!
After you spend all the hard work it takes to create your story, you need intelligent, comprehensive "producer's coverage" to take your project to the next level. PRODUCER Script Consultation with Robert SchwartzRobert Schwartz defined the job of script consulting when he began analyzing scripts based on a system he developed as a producer of feature films. Since 1976, he has consulted on dozens of projects for both feature films and television. Mr. Schwartz has been producing movies for over 30 years for the studios and numerous independent production companies. His experience is comprehensive in range from screenplay development and financing through to production and distribution. Seismic Scripts offers an intensive, first-class script consulting service to help writers, directors and producers greatly improve their screenplay before submitting it in Hollywood, or to investors, and to assess a project's viability in the marketplace on a creative, financial and strategic basis. No typical script reader will review and analyze your project in this manner. Mr. Schwartz has worked in numerous countries around the world and has assisted many filmmakers in shaping their projects into a solid road map for production. His approach is flexible for projects that are in the early creative stages, and those projects that require a detailed focus as they marry the actual production and budget realities. Mr. Schwartz' clients have included Djordje Milicevic (Runaway Train, Iron Will), Jeff Arch (Sleepless in Seattle, Guide to Guys), Vadim Perelman (House of Sand and Fog), Peter Markle (Virginia's Run), Stuart Gillard (Kart Racer, War Games), LeVar Burton and Ralph Winter (Blizzard), Max Enscoe and Annie DeYoung (Wooly Boys), and many, many more. Among Mr. Schwartz' many movies, there are two that exemplify his spirit and his goal to produce high quality films. Mr. Schwartz was the producer on Iron Will for Walt Disney Pictures starring Kevin Spacey which won numerous family awards and performed extremely well at the box office and on video. He was also the producer on Blizzard for MGM starring Whoopie Goldberg, Brenda Blethyn, Kevin Pollack, and Christopher Plummer which won the prestigious Crystal Heart Award. He spent years on the Disney lot developing many screenplays. Mr. Schwartz is a founding member and serves on the Advisory Board of the Independent Feature Project (IFP) and a longstanding member of the Producers Guild of America (PGA) in Los Angeles.
