How to be a Script Doctor

In this episode we look at how to approach fixing a screenplay which isn't yours. However, you can use these techniques to work on your own screenplays.

One point I didn't make in the video, is to make sure you don't overdo something. Don't have every scene prove that war is horrible. It bcomes boring and the audience will begin to say "we got it, can we move on".

Great video, Craig. Thanks for the tips. I used to write "script doctor" in my bio, but I changed it to "script consultant" because sometimes "script doctor" confuses people (they don't know what it means).
