Testimonials from happy clients

"It is difficult to give your work to strangers to critique, yet after almost a year of reading The Rouge Wave, my instincts told me that The Script Department was the way to go and I was right. Thank you."
Judith Duncan

"Dear Julie, had it not been for your generous help and expert analysis I KNOW my script would not have made it this far in the competition. You really forced me (in a good way) to see my story from a new perspective, along with helping me understand how much of an overhaul it needed. I think you wrote a blog post about it on the Rouge Wave and also told me specifically to quit tweaking, too! I can't thank you enough."
Patricia Sorge, semifinalist, 2008 Austin Film Festival Screenwriting Competition
