Euroscript is shortly going to unveil its new and exciting Spanish language script service, which we are confident will become a important link between the Spanish- and English-speaking screenwriting worlds.
The last twenty years have seen a revolution in film-making, with the focus shifting from Hollywood to other territories. Spanish-speaking cinema has been in the vanguard of this change.
When our new script service launches, Euroscript will begin to make long-term relationships with Spanish-speaking writers, producers and directors, and to give you the know-how you need to create high quality, industry-ready screenplays.
Our Spanish editors are fluent in both languages and have a deep knowledge of European and US cinema. We can give feedback on your scripts in either Spanish or English, through a variety of methods: written reports, individual meetings, emails and phone or Skype calls – whatever suits you.

LSF SCRIPT INITIATIVE - SO CRAZY IT MIGHT JUST WORK?
Those scamps at the London Screenwriters' Festival have come up with a brilliantly mad screenplay initiative. Here's how it works: you send them a 2-page story set on Valentine's Night. They put the 50 best scripts they receive on their website. Then ANYONE IN THE WORLD chooses any one of these, makes it into a film, and sends it to the LSF. And get this - the 50 best of these will be edited into a FULL-LENGTH FEATURE CROWD-SOURCED MOVIE.
If this insanity appeals, you must be a sick person. Click here to find out more.
