CONSULTATIONS

After receiving his MFA in Screenwriting from the American Film Institute, Dax Phelan worked as a story analyst for producers Mace Neufeld (“The Hunt for Red October”), Kathleen Kennedy (“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”), Frank Marshall (“Raiders of the Lost Ark”), and Michael Mann (“Heat”).  Later, Neufeld hired Phelan as his Story Editor and, a year later, promoted him to Creative Executive. 

Two years later, upon selling a spec script of his own, Phelan amicably parted ways with Neufeld and Sony and began writing full-time.  Having worked on “both sides of the desk,” Phelan became a go-to script doctor and ghostwriter, performing uncredited work on dozens of projects over the years before branching out into producing and directing. 

If you would like Phelan to read your screenplay, identify its weaknesses, and provide you with solutions, please e-mail him by following the instructions listed in the “Contact” section. 

Thank you.
