Joda Productions, Inc., a Hollywood-based motion
picture production company opened its doors to freelance writers in 1992 with
the formation of Hollywood Writers Studio. It has since become the foremost
script doctoring, ghostwriting, screenplay adapting and script critiquing
service in the world, serving the motion picture studios and producers as well
as individual screenwriters and authors.
Stories, novels and concepts into
screenplays
Studios and Production Companies rarely buy novels
unless they are bestsellers. To get a story produced as a movie it is almost
mandatory to submit it as a completed screenplay. Producers need to see how
your story will work as a movie. If you have a story, novel, idea, or concept
that has the potential to be a movie, we will develop and adapt it into a
highly dramatic, visual screenplay, ready to present to producers, stars, and
motion picture studios. We can be your
ghostwriter (you take all the credit) or we can share credit. It’s your choice.
You can either market the screenplay yourself or we can work with you to market
it to production companies, studios and agents.
Screenplay
rewrites and ghostwriting
As the
saying goes, screenplays are never written, they are rewritten. Sometimes it
helps to have another writer collaborate with you to give your script an extra
dimension, a new life. If your screenplay needs more work, we can enhance it
for you and turn it into an exciting, commercial manuscript ready for the
marketplace. We will improve your story structure, premise, motivations,
characterizations, pacing, subplots, dialogue, construction of scenes,
conflict, suspense, humor, action, and more. We can either be your ghostwriter
(you take all the credit) or we can share screen credit and help you with the
marketing. It’s up to you. By mutual agreement, we will submit the script to
producers and studios.
You participate during the writing process
Prior to our
adapting your novel or rewriting or doctoring your screenplay, we will send you
a detailed step outline/treatment of the new script for your approval. This
will take approximately six weeks. We will welcome your suggestions or
comments. After we complete the screenplay approximately six weeks later, we
will again send it to you for your review and we will again welcome your
comments or suggestions. We will then prepare a final draft of the screenplay
including your input, at no additional cost to you. If you choose to have us
take the screenplay into the marketplace by offering it to production
companies, studios and agents, you will have the right of approval of all
creative and financial decisions.
Screenplay
evaluations, analyses and critiques
Year after year,
writers tell us that we are the best story analysts in the business (see
Testimonials). Hollywood Writers Studio has maintained a reputation for
providing outstanding critiques and evaluations. We want you to sell your
material, not just improve it. At Hollywood Writers Studio we will read and
analyze your screenplay and prescribe specific changes, re-structuring and
suggestions for its improvement. Our recommendations are extensive, incisive
and honest, but are given in a considerate and constructive manner. We give
specific advice regarding how you can improve your screenplay and make it more
marketable.
We provide
instructions so that you, the writer, can fix what is wrong. You might have a
great plot and wonderful characters, but your story structure may be weak. On
the other hand, you might have a well-structured script, but the characters
and/or dialogue need work. Or you might have an exciting screenplay, but the
formatting is wrong. You will receive a detailed report as well as notes in
your manuscript. Included with our critiques are sample pages from recent
box-office hits.
Our production companies
All screenplays adapted, rewritten, critiqued,
or evaluated by us will be considered for development and production by Joda Productions
and Hollywood West Entertainment, our production companies. While Hollywood
Writers Studio writer-clients are given priority consideration, there is no
guarantee that any screenplay will be produced by Joda Productions or Hollywood
West Entertainment.
