NEW! SCRIPT ANALYSIS
Dedicated to the belief that at the heart and soul of every great film is a talented writer with a great story, the Nantucket Film Festival is committed to helping screenwriters develop well crafted and high quality screenplays through a new Script Analysis service.

Contrary to internal “coverage” designed to save time for film executives, our script analysis is envisioned with the writer in mind. We offer you the opportunity to learn what does and doesn’t work before your screenplay reaches the executive’s desk. Our analysis is meant to be constructive and help you improve your script. Let our professional script consultants be the first in line to evaluate your script, not the last.
