Script Consulting

Every block of stone has a statue inside it—and it’s the sculptor’s task to discover it. - Michelangelo

    Francesca offers personalized, one-on-one consultations tailored to wherever you are in your writing process—from teasing the storyline out of a concept for a film to putting that perfect polish on a final draft of a script—and all the architectural intricacies of structure and character along the way. She’ll help you find how to draw your audience in and hold them, how to discover what’s fresh in the story you’re telling and why it must be told. Her goal is to make your script exactly what it wants to be.

    Francesca has an extensive background in writing and editing literary prose fiction and studied both Creative Writing and Ancient Greek and Latin at Columbia University. Additionally, she has years of experience in the business as an actress, writer and director, and has been brought on to overhaul feature scripts, write treatments for narrative and documentary film, as well as created her own original content. She can speak to your script not only as a writer, but with the eyes and heart of a director and actor. And she’s terribly fun.

    From new to veteran writers, Francesca offers invaluable guidance. Her prompt, supportive feedback and deep conviction that everyone has a story to tell provide writers with long-term constructive help and guidance that can be challenging to find in the business today. Above all, she makes it her business to be available—whether it be walking you through your first short or translating studio notes for your shooting script—at every point along the way. Francesca’s passion is to take the idea you’re passionate about and make it shine even more brilliantly.
