BEFORE YOU
REWRITE IT,
FIND THE FILM.
THESERVICE ↓
Unknown Soldier has worked privately on screenplays for feature films and major European productions with first-time directors as well as Academy Award-winning and internationally awarded filmmakers.
The central story problem is rarely what everyone is discussing or trying to solve.
The consultation begins with questions rather than imposed solutions. Its purpose is to help the filmmaker identify what the screenplay wants to be, what prevents it from becoming that, and/or if the work is being mistaken for another kind of film.
The discussion is exploratory, not supervisory. It does not become rewrite management or combing through notes.
You receive a direct account of what is working, what is not, and why. Recommendations are offered only when invited or useful.
This is a consultation service. Unknown Soldier makes no claim of authorship or ownership in the screenplay or in work developed from the consultation. The project and all resulting material remain entirely the client’s.
One film.
One diagnosis.
- One feature screenplay, up to 120 pages*
- One complete read and independent assessment
- Up to three hours of private conversation
- One session or several, according to what best serves the project
*Longer screenplays may be considered in exceptional cases.
What this
is not.
- Written coverage, a report or annotations
- A treatment, rewriting or dialogue polish
- A further read of a revised draft
- Continuing access or consultation by email
Submission and conversation dates are agreed in advance.
Commissions are strictly limited. Only one is active at a time.
Feature films intended for theatrical release only. Selected prestige miniseries may be considered privately under separate terms. No ongoing or episodic television.
“I don’t know anyone who understands cinema better than [Unknown Soldier].”
— Multiple Gold Lion Award-winning director
