What Is A Script Doctor?

One of my favorite things to do is writing screenplays. I wanted to share this with my audience, because a lot of you are here because you find me interesting. Today I would like to share a bit of my passion with you, and to tell you about someone who is so fun to work with, because he's literally a genius.
The acclaimed Hollywood Director, Tim Story told me that Doug Griffin was a "story savant". He has had a guiding hand in at least one movie that you've loved over the years. He does story development.
Doug was my High School teacher. When I caught up with him over 30 years later, I asked if he was still teaching, and he said that he was in Hollywood. His job is so interesting. He gets scripts from movie studios, producers, agents, all trying to get Tim Story to attach to their projects as a director. Then, once a project gets a "green light" to go into production, Doug assists with the telling of the story.

Many of you - probably all of you - have had a story idea that you think might make a great movie. This happened to me, and after writing my first screenplay, I was discovered by a top Hollywood agent, and meeting with producers, directors, and actors ever since.
Everybody in life succeeds with story-telling skills. Whether you are a school teacher, a litigator in a courtroom, or a screenwriter, stories have to make sense. Doug is like a story detective. He can spot out when your story is bogus.
