Salon Story
SALON STORY DEPARTMENT
Salon Story is a bespoke script consultation service, offering its services in three strands, to screenwriters, or to screenwriters with producers:
Report, Analysis, or Workshop.
Salon enlists one of its founders to undertake the report, both produced screenwriters and published authors, or pick from a select stable of readers who will also be either practicing screenwriters, authors, or produced screenwriters.
The workshops will be conducted privately with Salon’s founders, who have both produced, developed, and financed many films and documentaries for the UK and international market; and headed development departments, and run film production and distribution companies.
Salon Story Report. £300.
A three to five page report on your screenplay. Does it work? Is it commercial? Is it financeable? We will offer a breakdown on key areas such as character development, act structure, and dialogue. The report is suited to first and second draft stage scripts.
Salon Story Analysis. £600.
Approaching areas as with the report, the analysis goes into far greater depth. It will also offer script notes, suggestions, and an analysis of what needs to be worked on, edited out, completely rewritten, and crucially what holds real value. The analysis includes two rounds of follow up emails. The analysis is best suited to scripts at early stage of development.
Salon Story Workshop. £1800.
The workshop does not include a written report. The workshop is chaired by both of Salon’s founders, writer/producers Nick Taussig and Paul Van Carter. You will spend an afternoon privately discussing your project, on all grounds, including a face to face script report and elements of story analysis, what needs improvement on your script, and how it needs to be tailored to the marketplace. Advice will be given across the board on directors, casting, when to go to talent, getting your package to distributors, sales agents, and guidance on how best to finance. The workshop is best suited to projects that are at an advanced stage, and have either producer or director engaged, or that the writer is embarking on producing themselves.
