Cast of Characters

Leo is an exceptional script consultant whose inspired story notes invariably improve the screenplays you give him.

Mike Marcus Former COO of MGM Pictures Producer Get Shorty, Good Morning Vietnam

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's notes are without question the most insightful, constructive, and thought provoking I have received on any of my projects. I will never write a script 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

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. You won't find a more thorough set of notes anywhere. He is the best.

Micah Ginn Writer/Director

Leo helped me to focus my ideas and become a writer ready for the marketplace. As a result, my very first script, "Valentine," was a semi-finalist in the Project Greenlight contest. I have no doubt that this was due in large part to the notes and input provided by him.

Tony Bloodworth Writer/Director

Leo frequently finds a way to cut straight through the fat of my story while pointing out its 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 Writer/Producer

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

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

Joe Callero Writer/Director Flying Saucer Rock ‘N’ Roll

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

Chuck Balog

I gotta tell you... I sent it to three consultants at the same time. I figured the more opinions the merrier. 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.

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.

The way you dig into a script, interpret the characters and their interactions and pick apart the story lines, strengths and weaknesses is just f’ing BRILLIANT! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Roy W.

Good news. The script has been a finalist in four major screenwriting contests… Once again, I want to say thanks for the help you gave me last year. It was excellent.

Matt B.

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.

Let's put it this way, we have worked with several script editors over the years on this project, and your notes are without doubt the best we've ever had.

Patrick H.

Remember (my earlier script)? Well, I got around to re-reading your notes and F me if they aren't brilliant. Working on a major rewrite now. Hope things are well and thanks again for the great notes!

Michael V.

… when your notes arrive, they’re pure gold. Once again, your steel-trap mind zeroed in on key points that needed work AND your suggestions were great. I took ‘em.

Paul L.

Just read your first page and I can see you snagged all the issues I have with the script as well! This is perfect and gives me 100% confidence that you are our #1 son on our slate of projects.

Kevin S.

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 than general comments/compliments, which leave you wondering if someone truly sees the puzzle clearly or just glazed over it -- so thank you!

Peter W.

Your advice in writing this second draft was positively indispensable.

Matt W.

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.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! and THANK YOU! Your understanding and grasp of even the smallest nuances of my script and what I was trying to accomplish is amazing. It’s as if you participated in my internal dialogue as I wrote what I wrote and made my choices.

Jeff P.

I want to thank you wholeheartedly for your insight and critique of my script. You understand my story on its deepest level and it's as if you know my characters as well as I do. You also made me realise things about my story I didn't see before. I sent the script to another script coverage service… and felt that the consultant did not understand what my story was about. When you covered my script, I felt you really understood the core of the characters and the story I am trying to tell...

Melissa R.

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.

Leo approaches analysis with a writer's passion and appreciation for quality writing that goes far beyond mere story mechanics or perceived marketability. A writer first, he has that quality of not only wanting to see the script succeed, but succeed on its own merits, and through the writer's own vision and aesthetic; a rarity in this world. Rarer still, he has the depth of knowledge and skill to communicate exactly what needs to be done to achieve that. You will not find a more thorough, considered and insightful analysis of your writing anywhere, for any amount of money. Period.

David C.

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.

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 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.

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

Derek C.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you for your insightful and considered feedback, you've really inspired me to keep writing.

Steve R.

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.

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.

Thanks so much, once again, for your very thoughtful feedback. I wanted to read it a few times and then read my story again before I reached out to you. It’s fascinating how you have a knack for catching the moments that were a concern in my gut as I was writing the scene.

Chris M.

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

Brian G.

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.

Again, I can't thank you enough for the depth of your notes. Stay tuned, my friend! You may be covering the rewrite! Thanks again.

Paul K.

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 being so thorough and thoughtful.

Rod D.

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.

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

John D.

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.

Your take on my story is spot-on and you definitely nailed my passion and motives. Your evaluation makes perfect sense and I plan to incorporate most if not all of your suggestions. Thank you so much for your input. It was well worth the price.

Rodney H.

Thanks for the great notes. You did in fact help me clarify and focus my thinking about this screenplay.

Greg J.

I found the coverage to be extremely comprehensive, insightful and helpful. I appreciate that you took the time to understand where I was coming from in my choices and that made your observations even more valuable.

Monish B.

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

Larry W.

I appreciate everything you've done for me. It opened up a lot of different ideas on my story and I plan on sending my rewrite to you once its done. You went beyond what I expected and for that I thank you.

Jason W.
