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 mascot
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.

Assessments & The Armageddon Score
Don Chuy runs the room. Every screenplay that comes through Scriptageddon crosses his desk and gets measured against all fifteen categories of the Armageddon Score. He is honest before he is polite, but he is never cruel — the whole point is the next draft.
“I found some strengths. I also found some hazards. Let's fix the dangerous stuff.”

Industry Access, Producers & Executives
Low to the ground, deep in the business. Don Bandito vets every producer, manager, agent and executive who asks to reach a screenwriter here. Real credits or no badge. When a legitimate professional wants to read your work, he is the one who walks them in.
“Credits or the door. Screenwriters don't get pitched by ghosts on my watch.”

The Academy & Craft Education
Those ears miss nothing. Don Paco runs the Academy, where every hazard in your report links to the specific craft that fixes it — structure, subtext, escalation, page-one discipline. He believes nobody is born knowing this. It is all learnable.
“A note without a lesson is just an opinion. Come sit down.”
