Script Consultant & Analysis Services

Every great screenplay starts with a strong story.
Get the professional insight you need to take your screenplay to the next level.

I have been a scriptwriter on many produced feature films, television movies and series, true crime series, natural history and other factual series. I have directed many factual series and produced over 40 television movies for Lifetime, Hallmark, CBC, etc. 

As a screenwriting instructor, I taught at the UBC Centre for Continuing Studies and other colleges and universities for over 10 years. 

Being a producer of many television production formats and theatrical feature films, I have a unique sense of what sells a story in several genres.  I know what a screenplay, teleplay, or television series script NEEDS in order to be PRODUCED. 

“Many screenplays are recommended or passed on within the first 15 to 20 pages. By then, a story analyst or studio exec will be hooked or bored. If he’s hooked, Hallelujah! If he’s bored, then Houston, we have a serious problem.” -William Goldman

PROFESSIONAL SCRIPT CONSULTANT

Whether you’re writing an independent feature, a television movie, or an episodic series, Christian Bruyère provides detailed, industry-informed script analysis tailored to your creative vision and production goals.

Feature Screenplay Analysis

I will provide a complete analysis of screenplay structure, character development, visual concepts, elements of story conflict, etc.

My analysis will include suggestions on how to:

  • Use the proven and acceptable 3-ACT screenplay structure to more efficiently, dynamically, and effectively tell your story;
  • Fully develop your characters – flesh them out is distinct individuals who have dramatic and essential stakes in your story;
  • Effectively use visuals to tell your story. A feature film is a visual medium. It is important to SEE your story through dynamic and relevant visuals rather than to hear about it.;
  • Effectively build the protagonist and antagonist elements of their desires in your story to keep it dynamic and keep the suspense mounting. Keep your audience guessing.
  • Whether you are developing a script for a micro-budget indie movie, a substantial budget feature, a TV/streaming movie or series, I will evaluate your script with your specific goals in mind.

    The notes you receive from me will not be generic. They will be targeted and focused on helping your project achieve success in the marketplace.
    The feedback I provide is the same feedback agents, producers, and development executives use to evaluate scripts for production.

    The challenge of screenwriting is to say much in little, and then take half of that out and still preserve an effect of leisure and natural movement.” -Raymond Chandler
