Hi, my name is Matthew Cooper and I’m a produced, award winning, screenwriter, UK script consultant, UK script doctor and script writer for hire with over 25 years’ experience in the UK film and television industry. Award winning UK script consultant I’ve written for EastEnders, Emmerdale (Bafta shortlisted and Royal Television Society nominated) Family Affairs and I also helped to revamp Hollyoaks under producer Bryan Kirkwood. I had my first script produced and broadcast on Channel Four when I was just 19 years old – the short film is the first acting credit for Ewan McGregor – and the award-winning film launched my career and Ewan’s (who used the film as a showreel). I went on to sell a feature film script to a US major before finding myself in the fast-paced world of UK soap operas. I was the youngest ever core script writer on the Emmerdale team (at 27) before I switched channels onto the BBC’s EastEnders where I wrote (among others) the iconic episode where ‘Alfie’ told ‘Kat’ he loved her for the first time–which was one the most watched episodes in the shows 20+ year history. I also helped to revamp CH4s Hollyoaks as part of the team which tripled the show’s viewing figures under producer Bryan Kirkwood. I worked on storylines that introduced the McQueen Family and notorious club owner, gangster and double murderer Warren Fox, who was described as the first ‘realistic’ gangster character in UK soaps. After Hollyoaks came the Web2.0 revolution and the launch of YouTube and I was just about the first script writer in the UK to move my work online with Dylan Ogden a 10 part show designed for the online space which was written and shot in 2007, and backed by a Dragon’s Den star. The show received interest from Simon Fuller, American TV companies and was briefly to launch on the MySpace platform (before it collapsed). For the last fifteen years I’ve worked as a script consultant and script doctor on various produced and released feature films on both sides of the Atlantic and I enjoy acting as a ‘player turned coach’ and helping new writers through my script consultant services. My script coverage service is one of the busiest in the UK, and my script reports are the most comprehensive on the market – my average script report is over 30 pages long – and filled with specific notes, feedback, lessons and career advice (see my video below on the business aspects of scriptwriting for a real insight into how the business works for screenwriters). I’m available as script consultant and scripotwriter for hire to give help with: Original screenplays Script rewrites Script edits Show running Storyline work Original short films Storytelling and script writing for brands Scripts for corporate films and adverts Script doctor services Script help for directors/producers in Broadcast TV Script help for film students And… Script reports / script coverage…Hi, my name is Matthew Cooper and I’m a produced, award winning, screenwriter, UK script consultant, UK script doctor and script writer for hire with over 25 years’ experience in the UK film and television industry.
