Do you have a novel (published or unpublished
manuscript), an idea, treatment, or a script that you know needs
to be rewritten that you think could make a great movie?
Well, Hollywood is always vigorously searching for new great ideas
and concepts that could be the next big movie. So, you just may very
well have a real shot at selling your project to a film producer
who could get it made into a real movie.
The problem is that many writers are under the false impression
that it doesn't matter if their book, idea, or treatment isn't in
the form of a professional level screenplay or the script just isn't
script at a professional level because as long as they have a great
premise, a producer will pay big money for the script and hire someone
either write it or fix it.
While this does happen occasionally to some writer, I should point
out that people also do win the lottery. The fact remains that for
most people these things don't happen. The reality is that as an
unknown writer, the most likely producers who will consider your
work are independent producers that are not on the studio lot. These
kinds of producers don't have development money to pay for novel
adaptations or for rewrites and they don't have the time to spend
working many hours with a new writer to get a script into professional
form.
These kinds of producers can definitely get made movies made by
pitching it to studios or other funding sources and attaching themselves
as a producer which will then provide for the writer getting paid.
But, what this means is that in order for them to consider taking
on your script,
they need to have a professional level script
that they can market to studios, distributors, investors or other
large production companies.
Paul Lawrence Film & TV, Inc. does offer consulting
services which range from basic notes on how to improve scripts to
full rewrites and novel adaptations where Paul Lawrence Productions,
Inc. will guarantee to obtain representation by an established LA
based agency or management company once the professional screenplay
has been created.
Having a professional level screenplay and bona
fide representation for your project can't guarantee that your
project will get sold, but it will give you a real chance for this
to happen. Listen to what some previous Paul Lawrence Productions,
Inc. clients have to say:
“It's so exciting to have my novel turned into
a great screenplay and then so quickly have it in front of so many
real Hollywood producers. I'm very pleased. You may use me as a
reference anytime.”

Oney
“The requests that came in (for my script)
further planted my feet on the ground and I've become even more
driven to see this through. Being a part of something like this
is better than winning, even though that'll be cool too.”
Marvin Reid
"Paul Lawrence's rewriting service is
a fabulous way to jump-start an old script and make it hum. His
turn-around time was speedy, his thorough transformation of my
draft into a commercially viable product was impressive, and his
follow-up answers to my questions were insightful. The whole process
is a great learning experience, while the final outcome led to
my script being represented by a Beverly Hills agent, opening the
doors to a ton of new production companies."
