“Time is money. Script Accelerator saves both. Typically, 'notes' come from all parties and writers can spend months going in 'ill fated' directions. But after one session with Gregg and Bart, we clarified all aspects of the film from the genre, to characters, to act structure. I absolutely recommend Script Accelerator. They streamline development and offer objective insight & clarity in a process that is frequently muddled with many voices.”

DAVID LEENER

TRANSFORMERS, NATIONAL TREASURE, DEJA VU

“I was reluctant – my experience with ‘script doctors’ is that they want to turn any script into what they would have written, rather than elevate the original vision. But Gregg, Bart and Gabriel opened up my script to me in ways I could not have imagined. I highly recommend Script Accelerator and I look forward to future sessions with them.”

“Gregg and Bart opened our minds to so many creative possibilities. Everything they taught our team we can now apply to our future projects. We can't wait for our next Script Accelerator.”

"I had the pleasure of working with Bart and Gregg on an upcoming Jackie Chan project. The Accelerator was highly educational, productive, and exhilarating. Gregg and Bart are a true dynamic duo, complementing each other so well. Besides being able to master immense amounts of material in a very short time, they quickly identified core issues and actionable steps. What started out as a rough, problematic story outline ended up elevated to a highly compelling and exciting long-form treatment. I can't emphasize how invaluable it's been to work with Script Accelerator."

MICHELLE SATTER
Director of SUNDANCE INSTITUTE’S Feature Film Program

"Gregg is my secret weapon. Whenever I have an important story to tell, I bring Gregg on board and he always makes it better. He’s ruthless, but caring. Honest, but demanding. He not only solves tough problems with brilliant solutions, but he teaches me how so I can do it for myself the next time. He wants nothing but the best for me and my work — bringing Gregg on board is an investment in myself."

“Even if your screenplay is in good shape, their process is invaluable. And if you're a studio or a producer it's a hell of a lot cheaper than hiring writer after writer and getting stuck in development hell. I'll be forever grateful to Gregg, Bart and Gabriel for working with me on my script. At times it was like taking a cold, cold shower - one that was indeed needed. Ultimately they left me with something I didn’t expect. Inspiration! Inspiration to dig back in and, with their suggestions and ideas, tackle another draft.”

“I just call him Yoda. Working with Bart and the team verges on a ‘spiritual’ experience where the creative demons find common ground with the storyteller’s soul.”

JAMES V. HART

“The Accelerator convinced us that creative work can be better, less stressful, and more fun when you do it with Bart & Gregg. Their process led us to new, exciting discoveries and enabled our team to unite behind a creative vision. We saw in real-time the ramifications of certain creative choices and that helped us quickly overcome the obstacles that so many writers, producers, and executives must face on their own. We highly recommend Script Accelerator and look forward to the next one.”

SHUJIN LAN-SHUSTER

"Bart serves writers with the zeal and selflessness of a missionary. His work is a devotion and, like Puck, he seems to be everywhere at once, dispensing with power and sensitivity the most knowledgeable, tacitly, immensely practical and original advice."

STEWART STERN

REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE, THE UGLY AMERICAN, SYBIL

“Nothing short of amazing, taking you deep into the story incredibly fast. Bart inspires a hunger for superlative craft while helping you discern the key commercial take on your material. Take any opportunity to put your stories and characters in front of this master storyteller.”

“A brilliant script-doctor and screenwriter. Bart's grasp of craft is extraordinary. He and the team are unique in the industry.”

SAMUEL HADIDA

RESIDENT EVIL, GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK, TRUE ROMANCE, SPIDER

“Bart’s insights into a particular movie or screenplay have given me some of those ‘eureka’ moments, when I’ve glimpsed the delicately wrought structure beneath a work of art, when the mystery is stripped away and one is left with a sense of awe regarding the essence of screenwriting, namely craft. And everything he offers comes gift-wrapped in his deep sense of compassion - for the writer, for the viewer, for the challenge of making art that matters.”

RON NYSWANER

“After months of rewrites, our production hit a story roadblock. But in just days, Script Accelerator breathed new life into our screenplay. We took it straight to an A-list casting director, got the talent needed to sell the movie, and are now in production. Gregg and Bart’s care and involvement was priceless.”

ARNOLD CHUNG

“Working with their team is to discover the hidden potential of your story or script. Enlightening… Encouraging… Exceptional!”

“The Script Accelerator team has quickly become an integral part of our studio's development process. It's one thing to point out all the problems, it's another to provide real, concrete solutions that inspire and equip our writers to make their scripts even sharper. Hands down, Script Accelerator provides the most valuable script assessment, critical review, and workshopping service out there. What they do is gold.”
