My Services as a Script Consultant and Dramaturg
I support you in all stages of script development: from the initial idea to the final script, and from the rough draft to the final film cut analysis. What sets me apart: A strong sense of situational awareness, a keen eye for logical inconsistencies, the ability to highlight both abrupt and subtle transitions, a feeling for gravitas, and a deep understanding of characters’ inner processes. I can identify where stories rush too fast, where they drag – and where they can truly unfold their full potential.
My services include
- Script Consulting: Review and advice on script ideas, structures, and dialogues.
- Script Doctoring: Concrete revisions of existing scripts, improving plot, character development, and dialogues.
- Dramaturgical Consulting: Holistic support for story development, including analytical assessment of narrative arcs and themes.
- Film Analysis & Post-Production Feedback: Analyzing rough cuts and test screenings – identifying dramaturgical strengths and weaknesses for optimization.
- Systemic Constellations for Script Development: (optional) Applying systemic methods to visualize conflicts, character constellations, and emotional core issues of a project.

My Approach: Passion for Films and Stories
Movies are more than just stories – they are emotions, thoughts, and experiences. I work with passion and precision to bring each story to its best version. It’s all about authenticity, emotional resonance, and the power of good storytelling.
How Our First Conversation Works
In our first conversation, I offer you the opportunity to discuss well-known films: You can name a movie you love – I will watch it and we will analyze it together. Or I will bring examples from famous works to give you an impression of how I work.
It’s not just about technique, it’s about one thing: It’s all about taste. Our collaboration thrives on us sharing the same “story taste.” In the first conversation, we’ll find out if our creative approaches match – this is a crucial foundation for successful projects.
Why I Analyze Movies
Analyzing movies is not just work for me – it’s my passion, something I’ve done my entire life. I’ve watched films, talked about them, and dissected stories for as long as I can remember.
I love diving into stories, uncovering emotional truths, and making works better. If you’re looking for someone who brings both heart and analytical sharpness to your project – I look forward to our conversation.
My Role in Film Projects: Optimization Through Creation
I see myself as a creative partner who analyzes and optimizes existing projects. I’m not your screenwriter or a technical producer, but I have a keen eye for identifying weaknesses and potential in a developed work. My focus is on highlighting a film’s or script’s strengths, fixing weaknesses, and elevating the story to the next level – without altering the original work and by adding creative bits and pieces.
