Summary
FAQs
Do I get to use the scene however I like?
When it comes to acting, whether that's posting the scene on your socials, casting portfolios, IMDb, personal site, etc. yeah! You can film this self tape style (an optional add-on is booking me for your reader:) ) or collaborate with friends to create an immersive scene, or, IDK go big and hire a studio to film your custom scene! What you can't do is use it outside your personal acting. For instance, you can't submit the scenes to film festivals, develop the scene into a larger script/project, pretend you wrote it, etc.. If you ever find yourself interested in developing your custom scene into something bigger please contact me! I'd love to see where that takes us:)
Do I have to tell people you wrote it?
You are not required to credit me as the writer when using the scene. However, if asked by a third party (e.g., in interviews, on social media, or in professional conversations) about the scene’s authorship, you MUST identify me as the author. TLDR: When asked, tell the truth, bud.
How long does it take?
From start to finish it can take a week to deliver the final script! But life is crazy sometimes, so if you can't reply ASAP, or hop on a GoogleMeet within the week then the process can take longer.
Can you write for an existing character/franchise?
No. And I wouldn't want to. Here's why: Whether it's a Marvel character or an A24 film, the laws that govern art make it so that it is illegal to profit off of someone else's IP without their consent. This is why fanfics are free, but once a fanfic becomes popular and a book deal ensues suddenly all material relating to the copyright IP *poof* vanishes! This is because it would be like super illegal and rude to use someone else's original idea to turn a profit, unless you have consent, like licensing.
What's included
Polished Scene Pitch
This is a polished starting point for the scene. After our initial discussion over messaging I will craft a 1-3 page scene which we will then fine tune in our GoogleMeet.
Final Draft
After our live workshopping on GoogleMeet I will revise the scene and email a final draft. This is yours, and yours only.
Optional Add-On: Elevate your scene with a custom score
As a filmmaker, I can't resist offering this optional add-on: a custom score by composer Rachel Elizabeth Jacobs is honestly NEXT level.
Optional Add-On: Reader
Need a reader? I can be there (virtually) as you tape your scene, doing impromptu rewrites if necessary and generally helping you out, actor-to-actor.

Working with Ethel was a joy. From beginning to end Ethel was professional, courteous, and on time. She explains her process at the start which gives you a concise plan on how she will be helping you create an EPK. What I loved most about her approach was how the choices were not overwhelming. She guided me gently and presented a sample of choices at every level from font to color tones. I will be seeking her out again in the future.
