Script Consultation & Polishing

Here is how this works in practice. We give script consultation for shoots developing projects connected to Poland, giving writers and producers considered feedback on a screenplay. Our team reads with attention to structure, character, pacing, dialogue and theme, and gives clear, constructive notes that strengthen the script without overriding the writer's voice. For projects that will shoot in Poland we also check how the screenplay translates into Polish locations, schedule and budget, flagging where a scene as written may be costly or impractical and suggesting alternatives. Consultation can be a single detailed pass or an ongoing dialogue through successive drafts. We tailor the depth and focus of the notes to where a project is in its development.

Here is the short of it. Poland has a deep screenwriting custom. Krzysztof Kieślowski, often working with the lawyer and writer Krzysztof Piesiewicz, built 'Dekalog' and the 'Three Colours' trilogy on tightly constructed scripts. Andrzej Wajda and Agnieszka Holland shaped narratives that carried political and moral weight. Paweł Pawlikowski's 'Ida' and 'Cold War' show how spare, tight writing can achieve global impact. The National Film School in Łódź. The Wajda School in Warsaw continue to train writers in that custom. We bring this context to script consultation, helping shoots develop screenplays that are a lot strong and, where they are destined for a Polish shoot, realistic to produce.
