TESTIMONIALS

"Orlanda is the hottest analyst for feature film scripts"

Michael Faunce-Brown, screenwriter / filmmaker

 

"I'll be putting together some rough notes on DECEASED. Orlanda, your writing has moved to a new level. Looks good on you."

Larry Myles, Red Inkworks

 

"When looking for script consultants, many parameters must be taken into account. The most important is the writer's/consultant's field of expertise. At first, I entrusted a Sci-Fi pilot to an online consultant who turned out to be leaning toward romantic comedies. A mistake made, never to be repeated. After careful research, I discovered Orlanda and entrusted her with my latest draft of my feature project called "The Deus Passage"; a Sci-Fi Adventure in genre (or Superhero genre, as Blake Snyder would call it). The results can be described by a single word: Magic! Her notes, suggestions and changes throughout the script were great! And they were done in a way that allowed me to keep on going with the implementations with a pace I never thought possible. At first, the script was an easy read. Now it flows naturally with amazing and sharp imagery, ready to pay a visit to the studios. There are many good words I can say to describe Orlanda, some of which are intelligence, expertise and a great personality. Her input was great and I learned a lot about the business in the process. It's a great pleasure working with her and I will definitely request her services for several more projects that are in development!"

"I finished what I thought was a pretty good first draft, then began searching the Net for a script consultant. Just Google — SCRIPT CONSULTANT in quotes, and you'll get around 70, 000 hits. Fortunately I had previously made contact with Orlanda through one of my posts the "Screenwriter's Network Worldwide" group on Linkedin. After sending her my first draft she returned a 22 page set of very detailed notes. Obviously she doesn't just skim over your script and take your money. I not only gained what I need to improve my script, but a better understanding of the screenwriting process. So if you want to look like a pro when you submit a script to either a producer, agent or contest, It would be a great idea to send it to Orlanda first. Would I recommend Orlanda? — OH YEAH"

"Orlanda has a keen eye for the details that make a screenplay work. Her attention to structure and pointed comments regarding action sequences steer a writer towards a more concise, direct expression of ideas."

Mary Dunkerly, screenwriter

 

“Orlanda's a highly creative thinker and writer with the scripts to prove it. She gave me wise words and guidance as a script doctor which elevated my paltry screenplay. She's loaded with enthusiasm and energy.”

“Orlanda was fantastic with my script - the Australian Film Commission awarded spec called 'DESCENT', a gritty sci-fi thriller. She polished two earlier drafts and by doing so, taught me HOW to effectively cut the dead wood out of narrative. She has a rare gift for descriptive narrative and hip dialogue. Also her turnaround time is fast, fast, fast. I strongly recommend her.”

 “She is a great screen writer & editor. She has real talent in bringing her characters to life (and those she works on) allowing the reader to connect with the story. She has a great sense of humour & is a decent human being. Orlanda is a real professional with not only a strong work ethic, but she regularly works to improve her craft. ”
