Script
Scenario Films develops original feature film and television scripts for production, written by Howe and Jones individually, and as a co-writing team, also by other writers.
Our development slate is varied in terms of genre, but in each case our focus is on strong stories, big emotions, and characters that won’t let go.
We place great importance on the development of high-quality scripts. A great film needs a great script. A great script needs a great story. A great story sells films.

Commissions
We welcome commissioned work. Click to contact our agents.
We started our professional screenwriting partnership with a 13-part commissioned series in 1994 for RTL in Germany: Sonntags Geöffnet. That means Open on Sundays, and we pretty much have been ever since.
We have a lot of experience in TV series formatting and writing to format, from twice-weekly long-running series to TV Movies for particular broadcast slots. See filmographies for details.
Each format presents its own challenges and has its own rewards. We hope to bring our skill and imagination afresh each time to the task in hand.
