What Script Butcher’s customers say
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!
Ryan Thomas
The best money I have spent in a LONG time! I can’t express strongly enough what a great job Jimmy did in giving me feedback, guidance, inspiring ideas, and proofreading. His creative passion and practical experience, shine through in his notes and make his services absolutely invaluable.
John Higgins
The Script Butcher, Jimmy George is an outstanding resource for any project and any writer of any level of experience. He has a death grip on narrative, detail, character and structure. Think you might get an Oscar? Jimmy will make it so that you damned sure will. He overhauled everything about a big TV project for me and the entire writers pool is all the better for it.
Chris Hicks
Wow, these notes are amazing! I really appreciate the attention given and the justification behind your suggested changes/omissions. Amazing feedback. I was thoroughly impressed! Clear, actionable notes that I can use to make my script even better. Thank you so much!
Canaan John
His notes are constructive! Script seems better with notes and suggested changes and omissions. Great experience!
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.
Mark Lombard
WOW! You are well worth the money. Thanks for all the help, Jimmy. So glad I contacted you.
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.
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!!
Matt Bowden
Wow, Jimmy — this is some awesome work you’ve put into this. The tone of your notes is pitch-perfect. Your notes are incredibly thorough, and offer many new threads of thought when revising. Well worth it! Thank you!
N. Mabasa-Mathope
Once again, I’m floored by your brilliance!!! Most definitely bringing another draft and another new script soon.
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.
Levi Cooper
Wow, wow, wow, man. You 100% addressed every single thing that, deep down, I knew was a problem with the script but didn’t fully comprehend why. It’s hard to find script criticism that truly helps and addresses the very specific reasons why it needs work so I can’t talk you up enough.
Your service has definitely given me much more direction and purpose on WHAT I need to improve and WHY. I’ll definitely be returning to utilize the Script Butcher. Thank you so much!
Tristan Carrasco
Jimmy, aka, the Script Butcher, hones in on a screenplay’s strengths and weaknesses, offering intelligent, highly detailed notes. All actionable. The time and thought he puts into your script will astound you. He’s honest, but never snarky (like some consultants I’ve used in the past), and strives only to help you take your script to the next level.
