CUSTOMER REVIEWS
"Tyler Smith is GOOD. His review of screenwriting is done using in-depth knowledge of film history and a thorough understanding of script construction. Tyler's suggested changes are to-the-point and well-founded. In my own case, Tyler managed to add depth to several characters - major and minor - and smooth out bumps in my story arc. After the rewrite, the script was still my vision and my voice. I found him easy to work with, encouraging, engaging, and a true lover of the art form. In short, Tyler Smith is a consummate professional. I recommend him without reservation."

"If you are looking for an honest and very helpful critique of your screenplay, I highly recommend the service of Tyler Smith. Tyler reviewed my script in a timely manner. In addition, the expert insights Tyler shared about ways to improve my script were spot-on. The one-on-one meeting over Skype was another plus and his rates were very reasonable. If you are looking to take your work to the next level, contact Tyler."

"For years I followed Tyler on his podcasts, so I already knew that he knew film. What I did not know was how constructive and collaborative he is. He answered my questions thoughtfully and asked questions I had not even thought of. I'm sure my screenplay is better for his involvement. In our session, we went over the script, not only the words on the page, but the underlying themes and subtext, as well. And when it came to suggestions, Tyler always made sure not to take the 'you should write this' path, but instead worked to make me understand why he suggested what he did. If you need a fresh outsider's perspective on your story, and you want it to be clear and professional, I can wholeheartedly recommend the services of Tyler Smith."

"After spending weeks, months, or even years working on your screenplay, the last thing you feel like doing is opening it up to cold and clinical criticism. Thankfully, that's not what you get from Tyler. He helped me refine my script by clarifying my vision, reinforcing my strengths, and identifying my weaknesses. After my session with Tyler, I had a list of revisions that helped me write a stronger second draft. Tyler's decade-plus experience of analyzing films, coupled with his inherent passion for filmmaking, makes him an invaluable resource for all screenwriters."

“Tyler was very helpful and I could really tell he had thoroughly read my script. He was very good at describing the critiques he had and backed them up with alternatives he had thought of. He was very invested in the ideas I had for my script and really wanted to help me with the story. I very much recommend Tyler if you find yourself needing help on your script. Also, he is affordable!”
