This comprehensive training will answer all the questions you may have about how to become a reader. But not just any reader. A Hollywood Screenreader. We have coined this term because we are passionate about raising the bar for readers in the entertainment industry. Too many people do coverage for free. There are no trainings available for readers. Instead, interns end up reading scripts without having a deep understanding of how to do script analysis. Consequentially, screenplays are often overlooked even though they have merit. And coverages are often subpar.
WHAT SETS HOLLYWOOD SCREENREADERS APART?
At Hollywood Screenreaders, we train readers to represent the script. To uplift the writer. To retell the story in a coverage that gives each screenplay its best shot at being produced.
Respecting the process is of the utmost importance at Hollywood Screenreaders. Too many times readers are overwhelmed and eager to burn through scripts. We train readers to keep in mind the importance of paying attention to details and producing succinct and thorough coverage to make the process easier for everyone involved. If a Development Director and/or Production Team receives quality coverage, they are better able to focus on their job of producing quality movies. Agents and managers are also able to focus on representing their client, rather than reworking a coverage.
Readers need to be able to provide a support system for producers. Producers are often overworked and undervalued. We train readers to be a source of support by teaching them to listen to the needs of the producer and the producer's team. Hollywood Screenreaders are aware of the multifaceted job of the producer and of their importance within the overall goals of a development office. Their coverages reflect that understanding.
We have a 'no-snark" policy. We train readers how to avoid the pitfalls and sidetracks that will cause a reader to become burnt out. Burnt out readers produce sarcastic coverage. Let's face it. They're mean and bitter. We train readers to understand the nuances of finding...and keeping....a job. If a reader is having trouble finding work, there are legitimate reasons. We tackle those reasons and help readers overcome the challenges. In this business, readers can stay as busy as they want....it's in their hands.
Readers should be the conduit between writers and producers. They need to understand what the producer wants and be able to retell a writer's story in a succinct and valuable fashion.
Hollywood Screenreaders is here to raise the bar of the reading profession as a whole.
