Last week I had a quick phone consultation with Jimmy George. Can’t recommend his insights enough if you’re a screenwriter or’d like to be.

What Script Butcher’s customers say
Suzan Battah
Script Butcher is the best script consultant I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the last 6 years. I’ve always worked with script consultants but by comparison, Jimmy takes doctoring screenplays to the next level of excellence. He finds the holes missing, the intense cinematic moments needed, the emotional pull from characters required to catapult your story into a great story. There is no sugarcoating when it comes to his notes. It’ll be thorough and guided, so be prepared for the truth. He can find solutions in what is not working. He provides well known comparisons to better help your writing journey. Jimmy is a master at understanding plot and character in whatever genre. I respect his advice, follow his guidance but always stay true to the story. I consider Jimmy George my Yoda, for as long as he’s the Script Butcher, I’ll be a Master Jedi.

Wow! Superb job again! Jimmy’s an enthusiastic professional, clearly loves movies and what he does. I will use his services again for sure. I received all the tools to re-write my script and take it to the next level.
Natalie Melvin
Thank you for your thorough attention to the story and your invaluable notes. I love your clear sense of direction as a way to improve the script. No words to describe how much work you put into your feedback, and how invaluable it is. Overwhelmed with gratitude for your help.
Kyle Rea, Creative Castle Studios
Jimmy provides an absolutely amazing script notes service going above and beyond any other coverage I’ve ever had, especially in the genre region. His notes helped us look at script in a completely different way and the details were superb. We will absolutely hire him again to help us on our screenplays in the near future!
Tommy Duncan III
I am quite overwhelmed by the quality of your feedback, it was really next level and I can’t thank you enough.
I’ve been letting friends and others read my work for years, and I’ve heard some things about my scripts that you have also brought up, but your feedback puts it in a different perspective. I laughed a lot actually. You highlighted a lot of flaws in my writing that others have NOT seen, but you have stated it clear in such a way that I feel like I can actually improve on those flaws.
Money well spent on my end. I’m coming out of this like I just took a semester in screenwriting. I can’t thank you enough really, because I’m always going to be re-reading these notes and constantly referring back to it. Thanks-a-mucho!
Jessica McHugh
These are the sexiest notes I’ve ever gotten.
Evan Viveiros
Really appreciated all the feedback. Your notes have helped me tremendously.
Josh Rayray
I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Jimmy digs through the deep details of your screenplay. He made a myriad of comments and I loved how he wrote what ifs to improve my story. He seemed to know what you’re looking for, especially if you state that in your order.
Stephan Deemer
Great, extensive, and thoughtful notes! Would definitely hire again, and highly recommend!
Michael Escobedo
SCREENWRITERS: if you need notes, I HIGHLY recommend you check out Jimmy the Script Butcher. His feedback is amazing and the amount of feedback you get is intensive and thorough. We are talking pages and pages and pages of notes back on what works, what doesn’t and suggestions on how to fix it all.

Isaac Rathbone
Jimmy’s feedback is organized and insightful. His simple notes about economizing space on the page without sacrificing content is brilliant and explained in the best way possible. I would highly recommend his service for any screenwriter.
Jordan Borr
I finally had the time to sit down and go over all of your notes and work. I can’t thank you enough and I truly mean that. Everything that you have provided for me will be so vital to my growth as a writer.
I finished this script back in May and until I came to you, I was already feeling discouraged. I had some friends, friends who write themselves and one who acts, read it and all of their feedback was the same “I like it” or “it’s great.” Which was not helpful. But now I am beyond excited again. I’m excited to get back at it and improve it. You have given me so much to think about, consider and look into (thank you for the book recommendations!) Thank you!!
Taylor Albertson
Thank you for these notes on my script. As a writer I’m not sure that I can adequately express just how helpful and concise I found them to be. I got more than my money’s worth. Your notes on my script were more valuable than I ever imagined. It helped me see what you were seeing, understand what you were saying to me and opened my mind to see things as a reader sees them. I’ve never had anyone else do this and, as it turns out, it’s a shame because it’s so helpful. Also helpful: the structural issues you pointed out. Thinking about these and making some changes will surely move me from finalist to winner in contests. Best money I’ve ever spent on analysis of my script. Anyone wanting detailed notes should check you out for themselves.
Scott Baker
I have read and re-read your feedback and annotations. Thank you for the time and sheer effort you put in to dissect the story and highlight the issues that need addressing. I look forward to actually reworking this! Your in-depth notes, critique, and suggestions should make it a breeze!
