What is a remote film script reader?

Remote Film Script Readers are professionals who evaluate and provide feedback on screenplays or scripts for production companies, agencies, or independent filmmakers while working from a remote location. Their primary responsibilities include reading scripts, writing coverage (summaries and analysis), and recommending whether a script should move forward in the production process. This role helps producers and executives efficiently sort through large volumes of submissions to identify promising projects. Remote Script Readers need strong analytical skills, a good understanding of storytelling, and familiarity with industry standards. The position offers flexibility and the chance to influence which stories reach the screen.
