Script development & creative oversight

Making scripts reach their ultimate potential

Lost for Word collaborates closely with writers at every stage of script development, focusing on character arcs, themes, subtext and plot holes. Feedback from producers, executives and partners is filtered and curated to provide clear direction before drafting the next version. Deadlines and general development administration are also managed, assisting the producer with their many responsibilities. This approach reduces stress, improves script quality, and addresses common production challenges early on, ensuring a strong final draft well ahead of production.

Intellectual Property, books and plays adapted for the screen

Pragmatic adaptation of Intellectual Property

Adapting a written work or other Intellectual Property (IP) for the screen is a valuable strategy in today’s competitive market. IP offers built-in audience recognition and a strong foundation for tone, characters and world-building. Unlocking IP’s full potential means identifying the story’s strengths and refining key elements for the screen.

This process involves selecting and transforming characters, simplifying scenes, clarifying exposition, and addressing production challenges. Through a tailored development strategy, IP can be effectively leveraged to achieve commercial success while maintaining artistic integrity.
