What Scriptageddon actually is
Two things in one name: a serious screenplay assessment service, run like the last reading room left standing after the blast.
It is a script service
Upload a screenplay. Fifteen professional categories, an honest score out of 225, and a clear plan for the next draft.
It is also Armageddon
Your pages walk into the blast zone. Nothing is softened, nothing is padded, and weak scenes do not make it out.
Survive it and doors open
High scores earn Laurels, a place on the Wall of Fame, and the Vault where industry professionals actually look.
Is your screenplay
ready?
Try one free guest read of your first 60 pages. Create a free account for three full-script assessments and tracked rewards.
Drop it in or upload it for an Armageddon Score across all 15 categories.
Yes, it's free · No sign-up · No card
You choose how Don Chuy talks to you.
Choose your path
Don Chuy and his ragtag crew are waiting
Two doors nobody labelled
Free forever to read the Academy, the Wire, and a full sample report. See what each access level unlocks. Don Chuy never takes a day off. Almost never.
Proof, not promises
Read a whole assessment before you sign up.
An entire Armageddon Score™ read on a full 108-page screenplay — the score, all fifteen categories, every hazard with page numbers, and the rewrite plan. No account, no card, nothing held back.
Actual lines from that report
Structure — 14.0/20
“Pages 55–71 have no structural spine. Four consecutive scenes are Ray gathering information from people who agree to help him. Nothing is refused, nothing is lost, and the midpoint doesn't reverse anything.”
Visual Storytelling — 14.0/20
“The truck scene is undercut by a character saying “He's not coming in, is he.” We could see that. Delete the line that follows every image you're proud of.”
Overall Story Survival — 14.0/20
“A professional reader is most likely to put this down between pp. 55 and 71. Fix the midpoint and cut eight pages from Act Two, and this becomes a script you can send out.”
What the score is for
Scores exist to be beaten.
Strong premise, no midpoint, theme spoken aloud.
Act Two restructured, eight pages cut, images left alone.
Opposition given teeth on p. 45. Industry Ready.
An illustrative arc using the sample script. Your dashboard charts your own drafts the same way, category by category.
Every script has hazards.
A free account gives you 3 full assessments plus 3 score-only reads — no card, no strings.
