“Leo is The Best in The Business. He has provided truly creative insights into my work. More than just the ability to take a script apart, he actually has ideas for putting it back together. Knowing Leo, he probably even has a suggestion for improving this quote.”
—Andrew Niccol, Writer/Director
   The Truman Show, Gattaca, Lord of War

“Leo O’Sullivan is the best script consultant I've ever met.  He doesn't give you run-of-the-mill coverage notes.  Instead, he breaks the script open from head to toe and challenges you to make it great.  Honestly, having done coverage myself, I was amazed at how much more he examined and unearthed in the course of his breakdown. You won't find a more thorough set of notes anywhere, and since he’s a writer himself, you won't find a more creatively insightful set of notes anywhere either!  He is the best.”
—Micah Ginn, Screenwriter/Director

“Leo's notes, in style and substance, are without question the most insightful, constructive, and thought provoking I have received on any of my projects. He has worked with me on two projects including the most recent film, which I wrote and will be directing. I can safely say that I will never write a script and/or direct a project without first having Leo read and provide notes — he is the ultimate collaborative script consultant.
—Jeremy Stein, Writer/Director, The Photographer, Jack & Addie

“After 15 years of struggling to find that elusive entrance into a screenwriting career, this year has marked a decided turn towards that goal, due in no small part to the input and notes provided by Leo O'Sullivan.  He frequently finds a way to cut straight through the fat of my story while pointing out it's strengths. Best of all, he reads from a writer's point of view, attempting to find the point one is trying to make and providing a positive critique towards that goal.”
—Barry Barclay, Screenwriter

“When I started my screenwriting career a few years back, I had a load of ambition without much craft.  Leo O'Sullivan helped me to focus my ideas and become a writer ready for the marketplace.  As a result, my very first script, "Valentine," landed in top 30 of the Project Greenlight contest.  I have no doubt that this was due in large part to the notes and input provided by Leo.”
—Tony Bloodworth, Semi-Finalist Screenwriter, Project Greenlight

"Your patience and notes have been akin to taking a screenwriting course devoted solely to my story."

—Chuck Balog

"Thank you for the wonderful analysis. I changed the things you suggested and because of that I was a semifinalist for the Creative Screenwriting competition's grand prize and runner up for Best Love Story. If it wasn't for your input, the script may not have been up to par. So thank you!!"

—Natalie D.

"Thanks, you've been extremely helpful. What I was looking for. You did not disappoint."

—Joe Callero, Writer/Producer, Flying Saucer Rock 'N' Roll

"Leo is a true asset to any writing project. He is capable of taking any project to the next level.  It will be the best money you will ever spend."

—Martin S.

"Thank you very much for your long and thoughtful reply. I gotta tell you, I'm really determined to get this to work, so I sent it to three consultants at the same time. I figured the more opinions the merrier (also, I was afraid that if I sent it to only one, he would trash it and I would be devastated.) I'm not naming names, but you are BY FAR the best of them all. Very thorough and your notes are the most helpful of all the comments or suggestions I received."

—Julian D.

"I really appreciate your comments; they were excellent…Thanks for a great job."

—Rich Foster, Author

   Mark Spitz: The Extraordinary Life of an Olympic Champion

"Your advice in writing this second draft was positively indispensable."

—Matt W.

"Thank you for the notes. Incredibly useful! You understand the script at a level that I didn't really know if anybody but me ever would -- particularly the themes. Really -- an impressively thorough and careful read and notes."

—John D.

"Thanks for the notes and encouragement, and thanks for taking the time to elaborate on what works and why. It helps a ton to know what not to mess with and to hear you talk through it gives one a great deal more comfort/conviction that general comments/compliments, which leave you wondering if someone truly sees the puzzle clearly or just glazed over it -- so thank you!"

—Peter W.

"Again, thank you -- that made nothing but sense. I'm beyond impressed at how well you know my characters."

—Derek C.

"We (My wife and I) just read your coverage - smart and insighful! You tapped into so many things that we have discussed/debated, and you gave a lot of our concerns new perspective. I know "coverage" is an ugly necessity in our business… but your notes went far beyond what we consider coverage and we really appreciate that!"

—Thomas G.

"Every writer needs a critic the writer can count on for an honest review. Leo adds a dash of compassion to his critique so that the writer can move forward instead of slinking off into despair."

—Peter S.

"Your comments are dead on and hit many of the trouble spots I felt might be there but for which I needed some distance, and outside/professional notes, to identify and articulate. I so appreciate your insightful thoughts and attention to detail. There were countless notes that I will fully embrace and work on in the coming month or two as I craft the next draft."

—Deb H.

"I was right in my assessment. You truly are a professional scribble psychic. Not only can you see the hidden scratchy nonsense scribbles throughout an otherwise legible collection of words, but you also offer the perspective and profound insights into how to untangle those knotted scribbles in order to properly (spin a yarn)... I could not believe how well you understood every metaphorical and symbolic facet of the story, flawed or otherwise."

—Tim D.

"Your honesty and overall notes have been most hopeful. Being my first screenplay this is exactly what I needed."

—Brian

"Thank you, I have read your notes once, but I'm sure I will read them a few times over to really get everything out of them, and I am immediately going to be in rewrite mode. Your thoughts are insightful and honest, exactly what I was looking for. There's only so much that Mom, Dad and friends can offer as critics before their opinions become tarnished with not wanting to hurt feelings. I'm extremely glad that I found your service amongst the internet pile... Stay tuned for the rewrite, thanks again."

—Mitch R.

"Your comments, critiques and questions are awesome and extremely helpful."

—Michael V.

"I'm impressed by how carefully and skillfully you read and considered both versions of my script. You can see what a difference it made when I incorporated your suggestions on my first draft. Your comments on this revision are, once again, extremely helpful and encouraging."

—Annette B.

"I want to thank you for the great notes that you gave me. The notes gave me some great ideas and I hope you will enjoy this read."

—Chris J.

"Thank you very much for your in-depth analysis of my script. I was really impressed with your level of service. It was worth every penny! You really went deep."

—Jon E.

"Muy helpful and have sent notes on to writer and the director. Again thanks for the detailed and meticulous notes. Worth the wait and very needed."

—Mary Bess W.

"Thanks for being so thorough and thoughtful."

—Rod D.

"Wow. I'm very pleased with the coverage! I realize you're a professional and have no doubt been doing this for many years, but I was struck by how well you were able to both enjoy the story for its strong moments and also see the holes and offer insightful, constructive feedback."

—Lee Z.

"I am so grateful to you for your input. You absolutely nailed it."

—Dan H.

"I want to let you know how much I appreciate your thoughtful, candid and constructive criticism of my script. I've received some similar, non-professional feedback, but yours is very provoking, specific and actionable."

—William M.

"Thanks for the notes, they were very insightful."

—Evan W.

"Thank you so much for the priceless, insightful feedback… At long last, I have a grasp of what the fundamental issues are, and I know what direction to head in to find the solution."

—Cynthia P.

"Your notes are very insightful and well thought out with plenty of examples to drill the point you're trying to make."

—Larry W.

"Thank you for doing the coverage. I can tell you put a lot of thought into your notes, and I really believe you gave me some good direction for my next rewrite."

—Tom B.

"A million thanks for your insight and your care in showing me the way to a much more compelling and clear storyline."

—John D.
