script analysis
10 minute plays
I will provide a maximum one page report with some highly practical, effective, and incisive critiques that will improve not just your current script but anything you write in the future. I am an award-winning director/writer who has taken my own scripts and those written by others into the Gala Finals repeatedly: six made it to either the People's Choice Showcase, the Gala Finals, or both. In 2013 I directed and acted in Simon Godfrey's "The Fox And The Hunter" for Short+Sweet Sydney where it won Best Director, Best Writer, and Best Actor.
"James Hartley’s eye for dramatic structure is exceptional, and you can expect his feedback in a timely fashion. He is a great script analyst; refreshingly honest and always insightful."
--Tommy Green, Best Writer Short+Sweet Sydney 2015, "Scratch"
"James Hartley is a miracle worker. He has an uncanny ability to hone in on what’s not working in a script, always providing a thorough, insightful and constructive analysis. James is the best investment you can make to take your work to the next level."
--Maura Pierlot, Gala Finals Short+Sweet Sydney 2017, "Tapping Out"
