“Derek Rydall is one of the top creative people in this business. His insight on story and knowledge of structure consistently amazes me. Creative, conscious, and insightful, Derek (and the rest of the staff at Scriptwriter Central) is an attribute and a gift to any project,”

– Matt Seigel, Producer, WideAwake Films, "Big Brother (Fox),” “Pop (New Regency),” “Life Coach (Fox),” “Soul Mates (Sony),” “Holiday Club (Fox),” “Destiny (New Regency)”


"As a screenplay consultant, Derek Rydall was instrumental in keeping the ideas flowing, while maintaining a strong sense of what we needed in order to make our project a commercial success. His writing process challenges, excites and leads stories in ways I never dreamt possible! Thanks to Derek, and his team at Scriptwriter Central, we were able to attract the creative team and talent to bring my career to the next level!"

--Daniel Rangel, Producer-writer-actor, "Lawful Descent", "Losing Lenny", "False Evidence Appearing Real", "The Final Lesson,”Luis Valdez's “Zoot Suit/La Bamba” and Peter Gilbert's “Hoop Dreams/Prefontaine”

“Working with Derek is a synergistic experience tantamount to a fission reaction. We can generate more material than we have time to harness—the true mark of an explosively creative process. He has a keen ability to analyze material, whether on the page or pouring from your head, and an intuitive knack for asking the hard questions that lead to the right solutions. Whenever you need a little diagnosing, prescribing, or just plain scribing, I highly recommend getting a second opinion from this screenplay docs at Scriptwriter central!”

--Bill Lae, writer-director-producer: “SuperGuy: Behind the Cape” Mockumentary and TV series, “The Couch Critics” Movie Review / Comedy Show, “BigScreamTV,” “Merlin” TV series, “ “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” and “Outer Limits.”
