STUDIOHEAD

A script development consultant installed on your team's laptops.

Built from the craft canon taught at UCLA and USC. Engineered to refuse the mistakes AI makes when it touches a screenplay.

// What it is

Not ChatGPT with a screenwriting prompt.

StudioHead is 35 specialized tools. Each one built from specific craft sources, each one engineered to avoid the generic arcs, on-the-nose dialogue, formulaic structure, and stated-theme failures other AI produces on screenplay work. Every tool traces back to a named author and a named principle. Nothing invented. Nothing hallucinated.

01

35 tools. 380 books.

Structure, character, dialogue, adaptation, rewrites, pacing, tension, theme. The full development pipeline. Each tool sourced from specific craft principles.

02

Antipattern gates.

Every tool documents the specific mistakes AI makes on screenplays, and refuses to make them. Generic arcs, on-the-nose dialogue, stated theme. Caught before the page.

03

Installed, not subscribed.

Runs on your team's machines. No SaaS, no login, no scripts leaving your hardware to a server you don't control. Yours permanently after install.

04

Less than two weeks of a consultant.

Script consultants cost $2-5K per week and book three months out. StudioHead is $5K once, or $10K with a year of updates and unlimited support.

// Tools

The full development pipeline, on the command line.

Each tool is a single command. Each one derives its output from cited craft principles, not from pattern-matching the training data. Run one, run several, run them in sequence on an adaptation or rewrite.

// Case study

What the diagnostic returned.

Feature draft. Western. 12-year-old protagonist. Three findings the /theme tool flagged on the v1 read.

Finding 01

The climax doesn't prove the premise.

The script sets up the protagonist's flaw (recklessness) but never makes her pay for it in a way that forces real change. She kills the antagonist using a hidden knife: a tactical trick, not a moral transformation. The thematic decision point ("she pulls the trigger or she doesn't") is never committed to. The climax works mechanically but not morally.

Finding 02

Theme stated in dialogue, not embedded in event.

Three characters speak the theme directly:

"If you let hate lead you, it'll destroy everything in your life."

"The best revenge is to live."

"It's the law of all nature. Kill or be killed."

Each line does the audience's thinking for them. Theme belongs in event, not narration.

Finding 03

No character successfully argues against revenge.

The cast clusters around "what do you do when someone destroys your family?" but no character embodies the cost of vengeance through their own experience. The voice of the alternative ("the best revenge is to live") states the position once, then disappears from the story. The mentor endorses revenge as sacred. Without a real counterweight, the story can't argue with itself.
