Lauren Pizzicaroli
CEO Source Script Consulting
I started Source Script Consulting when I realised that many script consulting services didn’t focus on the unique needs and goals of each filmmaker. I wanted to provide a tailored service that gave filmmakers the opportunity to communicate directly with the script consultant to truly understand coverage notes, how to implement changes, and ask questions while writing their new draft.
What my clients say:
'Working with Lauren has taken my project to the next level. She details her reports so precisely and helps you see what to improve and not get lost in your script, and with each report, there is a new layer added which increases the meaning of the story. Her insight into storytelling is what stands out the most for me, the nuances that make the story stronger and tighter are some of the things she knows so well. Her ability makes you want to shoot your film the next day. Thank you, Lauren'
Tumelo Lekena, writer and director of the Oscar qualifying short film FATHER'S DAY, about Source's script consulting service for his new film STERING
What my clients say:
'I had the pleasure of working with Lauren when planning my festival strategy for my Scottish fantasy series, “Origins of the Laoich”. Lauren guided me through the process of each potential festival to submit to, with the pros and cons of each one. She took time to properly read my script and pitch bible in order to pinpoint the best festivals to enter the project into for consideration. We then met in person to discuss our strategy, when to apply, how to apply and offered key support and advice throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Lauren for your project'

What my clients say:
“Lauren's feedback on my first script was incredibly detailed and helpful, complete with useful links to explore. She also formatted my pitch deck and pilot script for me, delivering everything on time. Lauren was amazing at answering my questions and was readily available by phone or email whenever I needed her. I would highly recommend her to any writer looking for professional guidance.
Thank you, Lauren!”
