Your Script is Stuck.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You've had the same idea for years but can't seem to write it down.

  • You keep getting the same feedback and don't know how to fix it.

  • You've tried classes or consultants, but they didn't get your story.

  • You just can't find the time, and that voice in your head says, "it's going to suck."

My Experience

I'm a writer who's been exactly where you are. I've seen firsthand how a great idea can get lost, and I've spent my career helping writers get their scripts finished and on the screen.

Writers come to me because they're tired of wasting time and money on classes led by bitter screenwriters and callous consultants. They're ready to stop feeling defeated and start moving forward.

If you don't tell your story, someone else will.

Working with me, you will:

  • Receive direct, one-on-one mentorship and feedback.

  • Gain industry expertise from someone with first-person knowledge of what it takes to get a script developed, produced, and screened.

  • Find and refine your unique voice so you can tell your story exactly the way you want to.

  • Join a private community of writers for specialized content and discounts.

Praise from writers:

I must say, Craig far exceeded my expectations. Not only did he provide nuanced feedback on each page (and basically line) of my script, he helped me develop a clearer vision of the story I was attempting to tell, which helped me take my script to the next level. Thanks again, Craig!”

I highly recommend Craig as a screenwriting coach. He is really supportive and great to work with. He offers a lot of guidance and tips on developing your story, is honest with you about what works and what doesn’t. I definitely credit my weekly meetings with Craig as part of the reason for my success with my first feature screenplay!
— Jennica Carmona - Writer/Director "Milly and the Lords" on HBO Latino
Craig has this contagious confidence and joy about him. Having Craig’s expertise and support was incredible. He is more than just a script consultant. He is a mentor and that’s what separates him and makes him invaluable to me. I’d recommend Craig... Craig is bomb.
— Shannon Ko - Screeenwriter
 
“Having Craig as a writing teacher is one of the best choices I’ve ever made. He helped alleviate my fear of the blank page with his encouragement, laughter, and concrete tools. He does what truly great mentors do - to see right past your jittery feelings, get to the core of where you excel, and brings that to the forefront. He dives in with full commitment to your potential, and through draft after draft, supports the best version of your work.”
— Toni Robison-May - Writer/Director/Actor - AFI Screenwriting MFA
 
CRAIG! I’m actually on a high from our meeting.
THANK YOU so much for taking the time to read, process and share your insights with me... it’s so rare to find artists that not only have talent, but have heart - and you....have that in Spades.
— Marc Santa-Maria - Actor/Writer/Producer
 
 
Recently, I was asked by a Network to present a script after I had pitched my idea to them. Craig gave me feedback that made sense! He helped me think through the structure of the script, the NEED of the character, and even corrected some of my formatting...He proposed solutions that fixed a couple of the problems that my script had.
This is a testimonial, but it’s also my ALERT call...If you don’t know what the big deal about CRAIG is, now you know! Red Wall productions is an excellent resource for your entertainment needs.
Thanks again Craig. From the bottom of my heart.
— Squeaky Moore (Producer, Writer, Director)
 
 
Craig played a vital role in the development of Young N’ Reckless. He stepped in when we thought our script was perfect. He challenged every idea we had. He convinced me to cut my favorite scenes. These were
blessings because when I go back and read old drafts, I can tell I was a new writer. Craig helped us take our project from script to the screen and, most importantly, gave two actors the confidence to call themselves writers.
— William Alexander Runnels - Writer/Director, Young and Reckless - Web Series

As a filmmaker I have produced webseries, short films and features. Craig has helped me in the development process of my productions. He has a great knack for helping you find your story. I am a better writer and filmmaker because of him.
— Richard Lampone - Director/Writer/Producer - Feature Film "Gender Bender"
 
 
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to Craig T. Williams for an AMAZING script consult this weekend. Screenwriters: if you’re looking for honest, straightforward, thoughtful notes from someone who wants to enable you make your script better, Craig is your man. He takes the time to read and understand your script/story/characters, asks questions AND will give you clear notes (in the form of a *meaningful conversation*) that you can actually use to solve script problems. Besides being an excellent script consultant, Craig is a helluva writer, a good communicator, a grown-ass man and a smart, funny, perceptive person with a positive heart. Check. Him. Out. #notagame

I’ve written and directed films, and projects for myself and clients that are on amazon, comcast, and HBO; Craig helped to give me the tools to see my work with fresh eyes that allowed me to streamline where needed, His advice was clear, detailed, didn’t make me feel as if I was getting away from my ideas, simply enhancing them. You’re doing yourself a favor if you get the opportunity to have him review your work; your work will be the better for it.

I used Craig Williams service to receive feedback on my feature script.
The feedback was very constructive and delivered in an honest, positive way without any sugarcoating and pointed out the nuances I missed to elaborate more in the script, scenes that were working and those weren’t helping. He also suggested ways to improve the script, areas of contemplation and further expansion to fully engage the audience and take it to the next level. I am very happy and grateful for his service.
