"To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script."

I am happy to answer any questions about script development projects and film, TV, documentary productions. Just send me a message and we can discuss a timetable and arrange a meeting.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my friends and colleagues - hope 2023 is healthy, happy and full of great scripts.

Welcome to Stephen Cleary script and film website.

I’m a story developer, script consultant, workshop designer and development trainer.

If you’re a scriptwriter, director, producer, developer or film executive there should be something of interest here for you, so please look around.

I am passionate about scripts and film making, so please contact me if you have a project you feel I could help with.

I work on film scripts in development from the first idea to screen and I also present workshops and seminars on all aspects of screenwriting and development.

The most recent workshops have been in Australia, UK, France, Poland, Denmark, Japan and the Faroe Islands. I am a regular guest lecturer at the Danish Film School and at the Film School of the Victoria College of the Arts in Melbourne, Australia.
