A New Service From Raindance Canada

At the heart of any great film or TV drama there is a great screenplay. Developing that screenplay can be an exhausting, lonely endeavour. Professional script consultancy ensures each project reaches its full potential.

Run by Stéphanie Joalland, Raindance Canada’s official script consultant, our service is offered in French and in English.

All prices discounted 10% for premium Members.

Philosophy: Supportive, Personalized, and Creative

“I always offer the kind of feedback I prefer to receive myself as a writer. I strive to find practical solutions for both story and character problems because I know how frustrated I get when the coverage doesn’t clearly tell me how to fix the issues that are pointed out. I’m also aware that receiving notes in a pdf file can feel impersonal, overwhelming, and inconclusive, and that’s why I make a point of following up my coverage with a one-on-one session on Skype or in person to answer any questions the writer may have.” – Stéphanie Joalland

Raindance Consultancy services include:

General Consultancy

2-3 page professional, objective assessment of your feature film or TV drama script. It points out the areas of your script that need improvement and provides you with general guidelines to move to the next draft. All aspects are covered: plot, characters, theme, dialogue, structure, style, marketability, and formatting. Followed by a one-on-one session via Skype or on the phone.

Detailed Development Notes

A 10-12 page thorough analysis offering practical suggestions to take your screenplay to the next level. Scene by scene analysis, focusing on problem areas and suggesting solutions for plot and structure tightening, character arcs and dialogue strengthening. Followed by a one- on-one session via Skype or on the phone.

Synopsis Analysis (up to two pages)

A 2-3 page analysis of your outline is the best way to test an idea, tighten the plot and eliminate potential pitfalls in your story before you spend months or even years developing the treatment or screenplay.

Treatment Analysis (up to 25 pages)

A treatment is essential to developing a story idea before writing the full screenplay. This 5-8 page analysis of your treatment focuses on plot, structure and character arcs to make sure the story works as a whole before you move on to the 1st draft of your screenplay.

Short Film Coverage (maximum 25 pages)

A five page detailed analysis of your short film script. It offers practical solutions to fix plot, character or dialogue issues. Followed by a one-on-one consultancy session via Skype or on the phone.

Script Editor/Consultancy Package

Full consultancy from idea, treatment, Step-Outline, to first draft, to final draft. Ideal for those who need to be challenged by deadlines and regular one-on-one interactions with a script consultant. The price varies depending on the project and the timeline.

Hourly One-on-One Consultancy

For screenwriters who prefer working on a hourly basis via Skype or in person.
