How it works
Script Doctor
Write, analyze and polish short film scripts of 1 to 5 minutes, in Fountain, the plain-text screenplay format.
Open Script DoctorStep by step
- 1
Start from an idea
Describe your film in a few sentences, pick a genre and a tone, and choose a length from 1 to 5 minutes.
- 2
Get a full screenplay
Script Doctor writes the whole script, with a title and a logline, paced for the length you chose. Each script comes with 2 free regenerations.
- 3
Or bring your own
Paste a script you wrote, in any format. Analyze & Fix lists its strengths, its weaknesses and what to improve, with a final assessment.
- 4
Polish it
Polish rewrites the script from that feedback, or from your own notes, such as "make the dialogue less expository" or "change the ending to be more ambiguous".
- 5
Take it further
Copy it, print it or save it as a PDF, send it to Shot Director for a shot list, or press Make this into a film.
The film craft inside
Script Doctor works from 15 story principles in our film knowledge library: scene purpose, objective and motivation, conflict, stakes, agency, causality, setup and payoff, subtext, exposition and more. Writing uses them to build the story, Analyze checks your script against them and their common mistakes, and Polish uses them to fix what the notes point at.
What it costs
- Free every day: 3 scripts (each with 2 free regenerations) and 3 analyses or polishes. The allowance resets at midnight UTC.
- Polish needs a free account.
- No daily limit when you add your own fal.ai key (Account → API keys).
Questions
What is Fountain?+
The standard plain-text format for screenplays. It reads like a normal script and opens in Final Draft, Highland, Fade In and WriterSolo.
Can I use the scripts commercially?+
Yes. The scripts you make are yours to use: festivals, YouTube, client work. We claim no ownership.
Why only 1 to 5 minutes?+
Short films need their own pacing: every line has to earn its place. Script Doctor is tuned for that length.
How is this different from a chatbot?+
It writes in screenplay format, it paces for 1–5 minute films, and every draft and every note is checked against written story principles instead of improvised.
