FEEDBACK SERVICE

NYISA offers applicants the unique opportunity to order a copy of their project’s Official Score Report and Judge Commentary. This service is available for a fee of $50 and will be emailed to the applicant immediately upon completion of judging.

JUDGE STATEMENT

Judges are given the scripts by title and tracking number only. NYISA is judged by working professionals and experts in the film, television and entertainment industries, all of whom have years of experience reading, evaluating and developing scripts for studios, agencies, management firms and production companies. NYISA judges are experts in recognizing and evaluating the integral components of a well-written, quality screenplay, including story, plot, structure, pacing, dialogue, character, and marketability. Scripts will be evaluated on a ten-point scale. The Judges will give each script a score of 1 to 10 in each of the following criteria: Concept, Presentation, Theme, Storytelling Ability, Structure, Plot, Characterization, Dialouge, Style, Concept Marketability/Commercial Appear, Orginality.

SCRIPT ANALYSIS

NYISA script experts read your script, then they write an objective report that’s designed to help you gain perspective on your writing and improve your screenplay in future drafts. The consultation will not include a synopsis or an extensive inventory of praise, but it will include a complete, constructive assessment on how to make your screenplay stronger and develop yourself as a screenwriter. You will receive 8-9 pages of detailed analysis. It includes the suggestions.

Brianna J. Grant:
“Brianna J. Grant is a 32-year old writer with a brutally realistic perspective and a diverse portfolio of real-life experiences to draw upon. Creativity, specifically writing, has always been her release and, for years, she’s shaped many characters around her little personal universes as a juris doctor, an associate therapist and a college professor. Grant has a long-standing goal of keeping romantic comedies alive and well in her features and to always showcase an underdog worth loving in her television shows. Her writing embraces the beauty in simplicity while also offering stories and characters with deep and diverse layers. When she’s not reading, writing, being a professor or a therapist, she’s probably sleeping, eating, traveling, or laughing with close friends. Her ultimate goal is to see her name rolling the credits of the big screen next to the words: “Written by”.
