Services
Scriptwriting
Let us take care of the whole script writing process for your project, from initial concept planning to finished shooting script, in close cooperation with the client.
“The needs of the customer always serves as the foundation for the whole writing process. What kind of story are we telling? Why? To whom? We need to mark out a clear playing field for creativity.”
Price example: 1500-2000 €
Creative idea/Concept plan
You do your own writing but are missing a creative spark or overarching idea?
“The message that needs to be conveyed may be crystal clear in the client´s mind but it´s hard to translate to the audiovisual form. The idea must stand out in an ocean of video content.“
Price example: 500-750 €
Script doctor
This service is for you if you have your script almost ready but need a neutral pair of eyes and detailed feedback to make it better?
“As a writer I am painfully aware of the danger of becoming blind to your own writing. Resorting to outside dramaturgical help has often been massively helpful.”
Price example: 250-500 €
Journalistic content
Interview question scripts, interviewer services, podcast scripts and hosting, background research - we´ve got you covered with over a decade of experience in journalism.
“Interviewing an expert on video is trickier than it appears. You need the interviewee to deliver the desired content all the while being relaxed and engaging on camera. A good interview is more often down to the interviewer rather than the interviewee.”
Price example: 750-1000 €
Customers
“Our typical customer has the knowhow to produce audiovisual content but lacks screenwriting expertise. We also serve production companies that wish to outsource writing services.”
