Testimonials

“I've had the opportunity of working with Victoria Lucas on several feature scripts in various stages of development.  Victoria has a way of working with you -- showing you the problems with the characters and story -- and through her own creative genius helps you solve these problems.  Her upbeat attitude keeps you going.   She's the best!”

“There are very few people who can tell you not only the symptoms of what's wrong with your script, but the underlying causes. Sometimes it's not that a scene is slow, it's that a character wasn't set up properly forty pages earlier. Victoria Lucas is one of those rare development people who understand how scripts really work, and can show you how to make yours structurally better. I treasure her insights. You will too.”

“Victoria reads all the words – a real rarity in the movie biz. She loves writers – good, bad and ugly.   I met Victoria Lucas many years ago when she was the Development Executive for Ron Howard at 20^th Century Fox. She had read my first screenplay and had some insightful comments on improving it. I have never forgiven her for not buying it. But I have sent her everything I’ve written since then and she has improved them each and every time.

 

Victoria has nudged me when I’ve given up – scolded me when I lost the tone of a piece and always insisted the screenplay be the one I wanted write. “You will have to write the one THEY want when they buy your script, but until then it’s yours – write the one you want - in your own voice.”   A working writer, a novice or anywhere in between, Victoria will make you a better writer.”

Getting the best out of your screenplay is a refreshing cinematic journey with Victoria during which you just know that your script is reaching industry standards and that you can, with confidence, drop it on the desk of any top agent, director or studio. After that, as they say, it’s in the hands of the Gods.

“After 20 years of directing film, Victoria Lucas has given me the best analysis of how to progress and improve a script.  She can take a story from concept to a production draft with most inspiring insights, and eloquent instructions for the creative team.  Victoria is one of a kind.  Both expert in her field and a great collaborator.”
