Pretty sure some links have been published on here in previous threads to actual prod co templates.

Might be worth a search?

For a general vibe the Nicholl fellowship contest readers guidelines are worth a think about -

Story

Does the story have an original premise?
Does that story idea start the movie forward?
Does the story itself have a strong beginning, middle & end?
If the story is non-linear, does it make sense?
Does this script make you feel that the writer is taking you on a journey?
Does the story connect with you emotionally, whether it’s a comedy or drama or another genre?

Voice

Does the script have a distinctive and original voice? (Or do you feel that you’ve read or seen this movie before?)
Are the premise, story and characters new or fresh for you?
Does reading the script make you think, “This person genuinely has the potential to develop into a professional writer”

Characters

Does this script have vivid characters who each speak in their own voice
Do you want to know what happens to them?
Does the central character change over the course of the story? If it’s an ensemble film, does more than one character change?
Do the dialogue and tone seem consistent from scene to scene
Does the way the people speak fit the tone and setting of the story

Craft

Does this writer know how to use description and dialogue to create suspense, tension, drama, comedy and conflict
Does the conflict propel the story forward
Do the main characters take actions that move the story along
Are these actions in keeping with who these people are? Or do they happen “conveniently”

Meaning and Magic

Does this script genuinely make you want to keep reading?
Are the themes of the story thought-provoking, across genres?
Is the story “about something” that might spark discussion among friends
When you finish reading the script, even if it has flaws, do you still feel that there’s something special about it?

Is there an indescribable “something” that elevates this script above the ordinary?
