The process
No mystery box. Here is exactly what happens between uploading a draft and knowing what to fix.
Don Chuy says
“Alright, let's see what you've created. Every screenplay has a few battles to survive.”
Name, email, password. Optionally tell us your experience level, favorite genres, and career goals so recommendations fit where you actually are. You immediately receive 2 free premium Don Chuy Assessments.
Give the project a title, choose a genre, add the goals you have for this draft and any concerns you already suspect. The more context you give, the sharper the analysis.
Your screenplay is read against 15 professional development categories. Every judgment must point to something on the page — structure, character behavior, scene function, dialogue, momentum.
Each category is scored 1–15 for a maximum of 225. You get the overall number plus the reasoning behind every single category.
Strengths tell you what to protect in the next draft. Hazards tell you what is quietly costing you readers, and why it matters.
Prioritized recommendations, ordered by impact, each connected to Academy lessons that teach the specific craft skill involved.
Upload the next draft as a new version. Your dashboard tracks score movement per category so improvement becomes measurable, not a feeling.
A free account is all it takes to test a screenplay here — no card, no strings. You get 5 submissions: 2 complete premium assessments, then 3 limited reads that return your overall Armageddon Score plus 3 randomly unlocked categories of the 15, and general feedback. After that, a one-time assessment either unlocks one of those limited reports in full or covers a brand-new screenplay.
A full professional read of your screenplay delivered in the voice of a Hollywood mentor who is honest about the pages and warm toward the screenwriter. Strengths first, hazards named plainly, and a fix for every hazard.
