Script Consultations by Glenn Gaylord
"Glenn's experience make his insights both valuable and inventive. His comments are consistently attentive and helpful. He can cut to the heart of things and help make virtually any script better." - DAVID KITTREDGE, Writer/Director, PORNOGRAPHY: A THRILLER
Don't just take my word for it! Here's what others have to say...
"Glenn has a deep love for storytelling that comes through in every note, every suggestion he shares. He zooms in on the problems in your script on all its layers, and any writer - no matter if beginner or Hollywood veteran - will benefit from his honest, no bullshit approach." - BERNHARD FORCHER, Actor/Writer, AUGUST
"Glenn can not only identify problems within a script, but offers practical solutions. Sure he knows structure but also has a knack for making sure character stays consistent yet surprising throughout the screenplay." - DEWAYNE DARIAN JONES, Writer/Producer
"I've seen from both his work as a writer (Leave it On The Floor) and as script consultant on my and colleagues' work that Glenn has a sharp eye for what makes story and characters work. His feedback is specific, pointed when needed, but always gut-level honest and constructive. With Glenn, you know you're getting a perspective from your toughest critic, but also your greatest ally. If you want someone to give you vague pats on the back, go to someone else. If you want someone to help you whip your script into something that will catch the eyes of producers and financiers, I'd say Glenn is your man." - NICK OCEANO, Writer/Director, PEDRO
"Glenn is amazing! A true mentor as well as a very detailed, no nonsense Script Doctor. I've learned tons from his expertise as a Writer and Director... not to mention, his notes/feedback are always right on the money. Thanks Glenn for the critical notes and helping to guide my passion project to the next level!" - HILLIARD GUESS, Screenwriter
"Glenn Gaylord has been a Script Rabbi to me for over 25 years!" - JANET LEAHY, Executive Producer, MAD MEN
"Glenn Gaylord is an inordinately talented writer whose smarts and curiosity make for bold and imaginative insight throughout the entire script development process. His ability to get into material and transform it makes him a powerful resource. On both moment-to-moment work within a scene, and on its overview in shaping the entire script arc, he is consistently effective, bright and original. He is also a delight to work with, both funny and focused. What an amazing asset!" - SHELDON LARRY, Director, LEAVE IT ON THE FLOOR
"Many script consultants offer vague, general criticism -- most of which is useless. What Glenn brings to storytelling is a positive and incisive understanding of script problems, and -- to me, more importantly -- specific creative solutions. When asked to read my work, Glenn has pin-pointed missteps and suggested concrete alternatives (a better plot twist, a thematic tweak, a background detail, even character and visual jokes) that might never have occurred to me. And he does all this in a spirit of enthusiastic collaboration, which is rare to find in Hollywood." - PAUL GERMAIN, Creator/Writer/Producer, RUGRATS and RECESS
"One of Glenn's greatest attributes when it comes to helping you with your script, is his enthusiasm. He loves the medium, and for all his experience, isn't jaded about the business of film. He knows the rules but isn't a slave to them and has a great bullshit detector when something doesn't ring true. You feel safe asking him what he thinks of your baby because you know you are going to get smart, constructive, honest feedback that's coming from a supportive place. And he's a fan. Part of the reason Glenn wants you to write a killer movie is so that he can go and see it." - DENNIS HENSLEY, Writer/Director/Author, SCREENING PARTY, RUBDOWN, FASHION POLICE
"Glenn Gaylord is my Guardian Angel. I had a blast working with him on my script. He really helped me to find the core of my story and gave me great tips on how to develop my characters. I truly recommend him. - CARLOS CIURLIZZA, Peruvian Filmmaker
"Glenn always has insightful and intelligent notes. He is able to get to the heart of the matter and solves problems to get the work at it's best. I highly recommend him for any writer trying to get his work to a professional level." - HOWARD SKORA, Writer, 1st place winner of Scriptapalooza
“Glenn Gaylord was paired with my screenplay at the 2012 Outfest Screenwriter’s Lab and I cannot praise him enough. From the get-go, he brought incredible insight to my screenplay while also completely doing justice to my vision in the excellent staged reading he directed. Incredible gentleman! We still keep in touch and I cannot recommend his talents enough!” - JOSHUA STAMAN, Writer
"From the first time I met Glenn on the set of "Leave It On The Floor," I was so amazed by his talent and creativity, that I had to use him as a resource on my own project. He definitely did not disappoint by giving me countless pointers and ideas that maximized the potential of my screenplay" - ALPHONSO THOMPSON, Screenwriter
"Glenn is an incredibly talented and honest script analyst. He gives you practical advice to help you get a deeper understanding of the script and of the characters, and he does all of this in a way that encourages spontaneity and creativity. His analysis of my script taught me things about the characters I'd created and the world they inhabited that I didn’t consider before. I highly recommend Glenn to any writer, director, or anyone, who wants to improve their story." KAT HIDALGO, Filmmaker
"Glenn's feedback was so much more than I expected. Being a first time screenwriter, I was nervous to have someone with his experience read my screenplay, but it was the best thing I did. I received a quick response with pages of clear and precise notes on the script. He goes page by page and gives notes on what works, what may not, then gives a separate rundown and what he thinks about plot, characters and gives suggestions or alternatives. It was exciting to read. Glenn's notes gave me the drive I needed to take my script to a different level. It also gave me the confidence to feel that I had a good thriller and now my my script just got accepted to some film festival screenplay competitions. Not bad for a first timer. Thanks Glenn!" -MARCUS DeANDA, Actor, "Pit Stop"/now Writer!, "The Things We Do"
