What We Do
NARRATIVE SURGERY
We provide careful, rigorous story analysis and feedback, from pitch and screenplay through production and final cut. By diagnosing structural weaknesses, clarifying intent, and refining character arcs and emotional connectivity, we help identify what's working, what isn't, and why.
HANDS-ON COLLABORATION
We join you in the trenches, collaborating directly with writers, directors, and editors to shape scripts, align vision, and solve story problems, from pitch deck to the editing bay.

AI STATEMENTe.
Screen & Story’s core narrative work is led entirely by experienced human storytellers, grounded in professional craft and real-world production expertise. While we may selectively use AI to support limited, secondary tasks—such as quick summaries, alternative drafts, or proofreading—its use is always disclosed, and never fundamental to our core services.
