OBS SCRIPT DEVELOPMENT “Our Goal is to Develop Great Writers.” In keeping with that goal, OBS has provided an affordable method for the aspiring pro to develop his or her skills. Submitting a feature film or TV script to our readers for coverage may put you – the writer – on track to have your manuscript developed by “Friends of OBS.” Friends of OBS are industry professionals who share the vision of our organization. They may be current TV story editors, Creative Executives, or professional screenwriting teachers. When a script receives a “Recommend” through Levels I & II of our development process, the writer will benefit from having OBS prepare your script for introduction to the industry.
LEVEL I: The writer may solicit coverage from up to (3) readers at $80.00 per reader ($95 for non-members). If the majority of readers at Level I (to download a PDF sample of Level I coverage, right-click and choose "save target as" here) offer a “Recommend” on your script it can then be re-submitted to –
LEVEL II: Detailed coverage notes are written by one to three readers and compiled into one report. Notes may also be included on script pages when OK’d by the writer. Script elements such as, story, plot, character, theme, and overall marketability are addressed in detail. Thorough Level II coverage may necessitate more than one Level II submission. If readers give a “Recommend” here, the script passes to –
Level III: The Level II rewrite of a submitted script will now proceed with the involvement of an industry professional. This professional will help the writer and OBS prepare this script for presentation to industry.
Level IV: OBS will put all of its resources behind promoting said script and screenwriter for 90 days. The goal is to create opportunity for the writer to market said script or secure an agent or pitch meeting.
