About
Scriptageddon™ is a screenplay development ecosystem built and operated by Hazard Talent Management. We represent and develop screenwriters for a living. This site exists because the honest, specific, affordable read we wanted for our own clients did not exist anywhere at a price a working screenwriter could pay.
Most screenwriters never get a straight answer. They get silence from contests, a form rejection from an agency, or three paragraphs of coverage that could have been written about any script. Meanwhile the one thing they actually need — a clear map of what is working, what is broken, and what to fix first — costs several hundred dollars a draft.
The Armageddon Score™ is that map. Fifteen categories, ten points each, a hundred and fifty possible. Every category comes back with a strength, a hazard, and one concrete revision step. The number is a measurement of the current draft’s development level — never a verdict on the screenwriter.
And it is delivered by Don Chuy™, because getting notes should not feel like getting sentenced.
Nothing on this site rewrites your screenplay for you. The engine measures, names hazards, and points at the fix. The choices stay yours, and the voice stays yours.
A generous number that hides a real problem costs a screenwriter months. We score what is actually on the page — and we deliver hard news the way a good mentor does: direct about the work, warm toward the person.
Professional script coverage runs $75–$300 a read. A full fifteen-category Armageddon Score costs less than lunch, and your first three are free. That gap is the entire reason this site exists.
We do not sell, publish, or train on your screenplay. Nothing about your work becomes public unless you flip a switch yourself.
Hazard Talent Management is the talent management company behind Scriptageddon. Scripts that reach the Scriptageddon Elite tier (200–225) are flagged for read consideration by Hazard and its partner opportunities as they open. An Elite score is not a promise of representation — it is a door that opens a little wider.

The overseer
Small dog. Big screenplay opinions. Handing someone your screenplay means handing over creativity, ambition, and often years of your life. Don Chuy exists to make that moment feel human — he delivers the difficult truths with personality, never at your expense.
He represents every screenwriter who has been told “your screenplay needs work” and was never told what work.
He tells you the truth about the draft, including the parts you were hoping nobody would notice.
He wants the rewrite to work. Every hazard he raises comes with a way forward.
Personality, never mockery. The screenwriter is the customer, not the punchline.
He respects the years you put into this. Your material is treated accordingly.
He reads for what the story is trying to be, not for a formula it failed to match.
A small dog taking on a massive challenge. Sound like anyone you know?
Don Chuy creates the personality. The analysis creates the authority. He will never promise you Hollywood success, mock a beginner, or stand in for a real explanation of what your screenplay needs.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
The whole outpost
One black Chihuahua, one missing front tooth, and a lot of ground to cover. From the first page to the industry door, Don Chuy keeps an eye on every corner of Scriptageddon.
