What Script Doctors Do

What the script doctor does and how the uncredited rewrite functions in Hollywood

The Role

The script doctor -- the experienced screenwriter who is hired to diagnose and fix the specific problems in a screenplay that is in development and that the studio or the director has identified as not yet production-ready -- is the specific professional role whose accountability journalism requires examining what the specific work produces and whose labour the credit conventions do not always recognise.

The Work

The specific work: the specific structural diagnoses that identify why the screenplay is not working; the specific dialogue pass that improves the voice without changing the structure; and the specific character rewrite that addresses the specific character problem whose solution the original writer has not been able to produce.

Screenplay.biz Coverage

Screenplay.biz covers the script doctor role because the accountability journalism of the screenwriting profession requires examining the specific work that produces a significant proportion of the produced films whose credits do not reflect the specific contribution of the uncredited writer.
