Script development & creative oversight

Making Scripts Reach their Ultimate Potential

Lost for Word’s approach to script development involves close collaboration with the writer during every stage, focusing on refining character arcs, themes, subtext, exposition, and addressing plot holes. Various feedback from producers, distributors, partners and investors are filtered and curated, allowing for clear, organized direction before strategizing the next draft. This approach reduces stress as deadlines close in, improves quality, and mitigates common production challenges. By providing creative support to the writer and keeping an open dialogue with producers, we ensure a smoother and more effective development process.

We work closely with you to determine which characters and elements to emphasize, ensuring a seamless transition to the screen. Our process includes simplifying scenes, streamlining exposition, and addressing production challenges—all with the goal of crafting an adaptation that succeeds both creatively and commercially. By efficiently leveraging IP, we help position your project for market success.
