Shaun Michael Goldsmith (Screenwriter / Story Analyst / Script Consultant)
Parallax: a displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight.
I am your Parallax Lens.
From a different lens, constructive analysis presented clearly and concisely. Providing the necessary and distinct perspective on your intellectual property whether screenplay, teleplay, treatment, synopsis or logline.
Critical feedback necessary to make crucial decisions on your writing career. A highly structured writing process with emphasis on concept, story, characterization, narrative and dialogue.
Possessing a keen, critical eye for detail. An experienced reader for both production companies and contests.
Not simply coverage, but in-depth analysis designed to guide you along the next phase of your writing career whether working on an early draft or polishing for submission to a production company or contest.
The goal: to enhance your writing and editing skills, bringing your work into focus – getting noticed, getting read and getting sold.
A private screenwriting analyst since 2012 with a minimalist-style and strong, visual flair. Lean and economic, as evidenced in my feature length screenplay, “The Death Squad” (Nicholl Fellowship-Semi-Finalist /2014).
Highly trained, private story analyst and script consultant since 2012. Co-producer and writer of the upcoming feature length thriller, “Cold Autumn.”
