Got to meet Tim Bevan (Four Weddings producer) with my first film treatment. Had a 35mm short toured internationally by the British Council, been commissioned to develop film projects by production companies and directors, and scripted episodes of Doctors for the BBC.
Selected to get UKFC training in delivering screenwriting classes, ran them in Nottingham. Consulted on short film projects etc as a script doctor: people who spent an hour 1:1 with me on one project tripled their chances of being shortlisted to make a film.
Check out www.writebyyourside.net to find out more about me as a script doctor, and buy a digital anthology of around 200 articles and reviews, plus a whole bunch of treatments and scripts to inform and inspire.
Main focus is on a multi-platform project for children and families that can be realised as animation, games, comics and more, which has received support from a foreign investor.
“Writer Adrian Reynolds is known to some as ‘The Oracle’— put a script in front of him and you will see why: his knowledge and insight about the craft is second to none.”— Britfilms.tv, July 2009.
“I have used Adrian’s script doctoring services on a number of occasions and found his input to be invaluable. His technical skill, coupled with a real understanding of what makes a story sing, have always helped me to move my writing forward. I would highly recommend him.” YA novelist Caroline Green, whose acclaimed Dark Ride is to be followed by a second book in 2012.
“By the time the (Red Planet 2008) deadline loomed, it was ready for a good kicking courtesy of Adrian Reynolds. To be fair, Adrian offered up more in the way of what he terms ‘coaching’ than a strict reader’s report which again, suited me just fine. A couple of Adrian’s suggestions really resonated, and I’ve used his sage words as fuel to inform a second draft, essentially a page one rewrite…the script report was excellent, as it happens.” Screenwriter Chip Smith.

- Hi Adrian, Thanks very much for your review of 'Playing Away' and for taking the time to read it. I am a big fan of Shane Meadows, hence the strong possibility of an influence coming through! I haven't had much time to participate on this site recently, but will have a read of Amigo as soon as I can. Just been to your website - very impressive. Thanks again for the comments.

- Hi Richie, I'm assuming I use this thing here to reply to you...fingers crossed. Glad you appreciated the review: as you can tell, I have a lot of time for what you're doing, and though it falls short it could be developed further, I'm confident. And having gone on the Immersive Writing workshop that Julian McRea of Portal put together a few months back, I might be a good person to turn to should you be in the market for guidance on a professional basis:-) Either way, take a look at www.writebyyourside.net - the paint is still wet from going up yesterday, and tweaks are underway, but the foundations are solid. - Adrian
