Where Stories
Are Born

Every great film begins with a great script. Our development team collaborates with writers and directors at every stage — from initial concept through multiple drafts to a polished, producible screenplay.

We believe in story first. Whether you're a first‑time screenwriter or an established filmmaker, we provide rigorous story analysis, structural guidance, character development, and dialogue polishing while preserving your unique voice.

Our readers and story editors have worked on Oscar‑winning scripts and acclaimed series. We approach every project with fresh eyes and a commitment to excellence.

How we develop

Development Process

Concept & Premise

We evaluate the core idea, market potential, and help sharpen the logline and thematic backbone.

Story Structure

Beat sheets, three‑act analysis, and pacing. We ensure your narrative has maximum emotional impact.

Character Development

Arc, motivation, and dialogue authenticity. We help create characters audiences love or love to hate.

Dialogue Polish

Subtext, voice, and rhythm. We refine dialogue to sound natural yet cinematic.

Rewrites & Notes

Detailed script notes, page‑one rewrites, and polishes based on director or producer feedback.

Packaging & Pitch

Treatment, bible, and pitch deck creation to help you secure financing and talent.

"The secret to a great movie is in the rewrite."

What writers say

Writer Stories

★★★★★

"Luminary’s story notes were the most insightful I’ve ever received. They helped me find the emotional core of my script and shaped it into a film that sold at Sundance."

Michael BennettScreenwriter, 'Silent Echo'
★★★★★

"I came in with a messy first draft. Their development team worked with me for months — structure, character, dialogue. Now it’s in production with a major studio."

Sofia WellsWriter/Director
★★★★★

"They don’t impose a formula — they listen and help you tell your story better. That’s rare in this town."
