SCENE 01 / SCRIPT CONSULTATION
Script Consultation & Polishing
Expert script doctors to refine, polish, and perfect your screenplay.
Here is how this works in practice. Script consultation gives pro feedback on screenplays and production scripts, reviewing narrative structure, dialogue, character development, pacing, and marketability. In Germany, our consultants draw on New German Cinema tradition of Fassbinder and Wenders, and the dffb film school's screenwriting programs to give objective perspectives that help writers strengthen their material before a project enters production.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with skilled German script consultants who give constructive, actionable feedback on your project's screenplay. Based across Berlin and Munich, our team matches your genre and format with consultants who know both local storytelling sensibilities and global market expectations, helping you refine your script into the strongest possible foundation for production.

On Location
Script consultation grounded in German screenwriting heritage — Fassbinder's Berlin Alexanderplatz 14-hour TV epic, Tom Tykwer's Run Lola Run, Edward Berger's All Quiet on the Western Front, plus VDD Verband Deutscher Drehbuchautoren standards.
Here is the breakdown. Our script consultation teams work with German screenwriting standards as set by Verband Deutscher Drehbuchautoren VDD writers' guild. This has consultants drawn from DFFB Deutsche Film- und Fernsehakademie Berlin, HFF München Hochschule für Fernsehen und Film, Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, and Filmuniversität Babelsberg Konrad Wolf alumni networks.
Here is how this works in practice. We refine screenplays in German and English, calibrate structure against FFA Filmförderungsanstalt project-development funding criteria, and pressure-test material for DFFF I 20 percent / DFFF II 25 percent top / GMPF uncapped 25 percent federal rebates eligibility plus regional Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, FFF Bayern, Filmstiftung NRW, MFG Baden-Württemberg, Nordmedia, HessenFilm, and Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung MDM fund readers.
Script polishing covers tonal alignment with German cinematic traditions, dialogue-naturalism for Berliner / Bayerisch / Schwäbisch / Plattdeutsch dialects where called for, and English-language pass planning for global co-productions.
Here is the short of it. Heritage references. Volker Schlöndorff's Tin Drum 1979 (Cannes Palme d'Or + Best Foreign Language Oscar, Günter Grass adaptation), Wolfgang Petersen's Das Boot 1981 (6 Oscar nominations, Lothar-Günther Buchheim novel), Fassbinder's Berlin Alexanderplatz 1980 14-hour TV epic (Alfred Döblin), Tom Tykwer's Run Lola Run 1998 plus Perfume 2006 (Patrick Süskind) and Cloud Atlas 2012 (David Mitchell), Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's Lives of Others 2006 Best Foreign Language Oscar, Caroline Link's Nowhere in Africa 2002 Oscar, Maren Ade's Toni Erdmann 2016 Cannes, Christian Petzold's Phoenix 2014 / Transit 2018 / Afire 2023, and Edward Berger's All Quiet on the Western Front 2022 (Erich Maria Remarque adaptation, 4 Oscars including Best Global Feature) — anchor structural references.
