Script & Story Evaluation Services

At Film District Distribution (FDD), we specialize in professional screenplay and story evaluation—the same internal process used by studios and production companies to determine whether a project is ready for the market.

We do not act as a talent agency or production company. Our role is to help writers understand where their material stands and how it can be improved for industry consideration.

Includes:

  • 1–2 page synopsis

Purpose:
To give you a clear, professional assessment of your script’s current standing and what steps are needed to improve it.
