Kirkus Reviews, had this to say about GET IT ON THE PAGE:
“Two seasoned Hollywood script consultants offer a crash course on how to turn one’s ideas into a polished screenplay.
Debut co-authors Kellem, a former development executive at Universal Television and 20th Century Fox Television, and Hammett, a former employee at Universal Studios and the Agency for the Performing Arts, currently run HollywoodScript.com, a boutique script-consulting service. In this entertaining, to-the-point debut—written with screenwriter and producer Bailey and contributing writer/producer Mark C. Miller, with occasional illustrations by Tokar—these industry pros walk readers through the nuts and bolts of writing scripts that will catch the eye of Hollywood decision-makers. The first section focuses on prep work—time spent reading other people’s scripts…developing ideas, and fine-tuning a concept and story. Those tempted to skip straight to pounding out dialogue do so at their own peril, the authors argue, noting that pros spend most of their time prepping...The second part covers ‘Drafting and Crafting,’ offering helpful advice, although the authors do it in fairly broad strokes. Don’t expect a deep analysis of why the final scene in Chinatown is so powerful; instead, Kellem provides such nuggets as ‘Less is almost always better’ and ‘Surrender to the fact that writing is rewriting,’ and Hammett offers brief explanations of why screenwriters should embrace stage directions. The final section discusses marketing and selling a script; in it, Kellem explains why sending less-than-perfect work is a big mistake: ‘After all, who wants to buy a brand new Mercedes with a dent?’…A frank, funny introduction to the realities of making it as a screenwriter.”—Kirkus Reviews
Hollywoodscript.com has been involved in such films as Dark Around the Stars (directed by Derrick Borte), O by writer Brad Kayya, Last Will (starring Tatum O'Neal, Tom Berenger, James Brolin, and Armand Assante) and The Dolphin: Story of a Dreamer.
