I have had the privilege of working with Script Butcher Jimmy George on a number of screenplays for the film and graphic novel medium. His passion and dedication to story is contagious in every instance that I worked with him. His constructive guidance on structure helps to make me a better writer by enhancing my vision for the story I want to tell.

Michael Escobedo
SCREENWRITERS: if you need notes, I HIGHLY recommend you check out Jimmy the Script Butcher. His feedback is amazing and the amount of feedback you get is intensive and thorough. We are talking pages and pages and pages of notes back on what works, what doesn’t and suggestions on how to fix it all.
Luis Paulino
I can’t express how grateful I am for your help with my project.
Mike Deas
In 15+ years of pursuing screenwriting, having my script read by dozens — if not hundreds — of friends, colleagues, managers, agents, producers, script readers, festival jurors, and random people in coffee shops looking over my shoulder, Jimmy [The Script Butcher] is the most thoughtful, thorough, inquisitive, insightful reader I’ve ever encountered. Not only did he read my script multiple times and provide wonderful notes, we also went back and forth on a number of specifics about the project; helping me not only make the script better… but make the script a better version of WHAT I WANTED IT TO BE. I cannot recommend his services enough and wish I could have him as the looky-loo in the coffee shop whispering thoughts into my ear.
Joey Scoma
Getting feedback from the Script Butcher was something I didn’t know I needed until I got it! Not only was he able to find blindspots in the story that I had missed, but I got a real sense that he understood the intent behind everything I was going for and was able to offer suggestions to unlock the story’s full potential. I can’t understate the value in receiving his unbiased and fresh perspective. He really knows his stuff.
Scott Baker
I have read and re-read your feedback and annotations. Thank you for the time and sheer effort you put in to dissect the story and highlight the issues that need addressing. I look forward to actually reworking this! Your in-depth notes, critique, and suggestions should make it a breeze!
Steve Wollett
Your notes are information overload but in a good way. Your insights are priceless.
Brian Lynch
After working with Jimmy, I felt confident enough to shoot big with my very first horror script Wolv.es and submit it for the Nicholl Fellowship… Wolv.es placed in the top 20% of entrants for the Nicholl, in a notoriously challenging competition that has only seen 3 Horror winners since its inception! [I feel mentioning that is key, because then it’s more of a “holy shit, the script improved enough for a screenwriting noob to pull that off” selling point] He’s given me a much stronger understanding of my weaknesses, and helped develop a firm foundation for how I approach screenwriting. I can’t wait to work with him on my next feature script!
Chris Hicks
Wow, these notes are amazing! I really appreciate the attention given and the justification behind your suggested changes/omissions. Amazing feedback. I was thoroughly impressed! Clear, actionable notes that I can use to make my script even better. Thank you so much!
Levi Cooper
Wow, wow, wow, man. You 100% addressed every single thing that, deep down, I knew was a problem with the script but didn’t fully comprehend why. It’s hard to find script criticism that truly helps and addresses the very specific reasons why it needs work so I can’t talk you up enough.
Your service has definitely given me much more direction and purpose on WHAT I need to improve and WHY. I’ll definitely be returning to utilize the Script Butcher. Thank you so much!
Caleb Armstrong
The work you’ve done with my script, and for my script, is nothing short of amazing. Your passion for the craft and, more importantly, encouragement inhabits every page of notes that you provide. You’ve managed to make me look forward to writing again and I am grateful for that.
Fantastic notes. They were critical and in-depth. Really, I can’t say enough about how great it was to read through these. Again, your eagerness to help my story along was evident on every page. Thank you.
Adam King
Without a doubt you have 100% taken my script into a magical and completely unexpected place I wasn’t expecting.
