Below is an sample of what you can expect from Script Flea's in depth screenplay coverage. Not many first draft scripts will receive a “Recommend” grade. There are no refunds if you get a poor grade just as there are no second chances if you send your material out to an agent prematurely.

If your screenplay coverage comes back with a “Pass” recommendation it's okay to be upset. Most writers are their own worst critics and it can be painful to read criticism from someone else. Read through the coverage very carefully, take some time (one to two weeks) away from the project to digest the script analysis and return with a fresh perspective.

If you're going to be a professional screenwriter, you'll need to get used to doing a lot of re-writing based on the feedback of someone else. Thus, painful as it may be, this is your first step to becoming a pro.

BASIC PITCH

WARNING: With a recommendation of 'Pass', Script Flea recommends that you do not attempt to market DARK GENESIS until the recommended revisions have been made.

However, this pitch will still be effective after the recommended revisions have been made unless the entire essence of the story is altered.

DARK GENESIS BASIC COVERAGE: (DOWNLOAD)

It's X-Men meets Stephen King's The Stand.

MARKETING: The budget for Dark Genesis would easily place it over $100 million dollars to produce. The crafty writer would pitch the material as an animation project or comic book to gain a following first, while making sure to retain the film rights for use at a later date.

ACTION: If the material can be re-written to bring the budget down considerably it opens up more realistic film opportunities. Once the story has been revised based on the enclosed coverage, the best place to market this when it's ready for film would be to a company specifically looking for sci-fi or a company that accepts any genre.

Companies like Penmen Elite or Circle of Confusion would be helpful too since they accept screenplays of any genre even from new writers.
