The gap Read a Film occupies

Between synopsis and novel


A synopsis

gives the plot — not the texture, voice, or tone.

A treatment

describes the story — not whether it plays as a film.

A screenplay

is built for production — not the felt experience of a film.

A novel

buries the film inside — you have to excavate it.

Read a Film stories move like films — tight, propulsive, no filler.

A complete experience of character, world, arc, and voice.

The film plays in your head — exactly as it will play on screen.

Certainty before greenlighting.


Finish one in a sitting — and you know it works.

And when you’re ready to make it, every story ships with its Final Draft screenplay — the felt experience and the shooting document, together.
