Our Company & Founder
The Script Joint is an award-winning script coverage and screenplay editing company. We provide script consulting services to clients worldwide -- spanning Australia, Brazil, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Finland, South Africa, Spain, Germany, the U.S. and parts of Europe. Our company won U.S. Business News' Corporate America's Boardroom Elite Award 2016 for "Script Consultants of the Year" and "Best Screenplay Editing Services." The Script Joint was founded by Ellexia Nguyen, an alumna of the UCLA Professional Screenwriting Program.
Ellexia is a script doctor who rewrites not only film and TV pilot scripts but TV series bibles for her clients. Most recently, a screenplay that she was hired to rewrite got picked up by one of the producers of Spike Lee's 2018 crime drama "BlacKkKlansman" and Jordan Peele's 2017 horror thriller "Get Out." She started out in the industry as an apprentice editor, cutting episodes of the action-crime TV series "Black Scorpion" for producer Roger Corman's Concorde-New Horizons." She later worked as an assistant at Paramount Pictures ' Worldwide Feature Film Publicity during the day and edited music videos in the evening for producer David McClane's TV show "Women of Wrestling", formerly located at the Great Western Forum.
Prior to launching The Script Joint, Ellexia honed her story development skills under the tutelage of HBO Films' former head of the story department. Shortly after completing her studies through UCLA's Professional Screenwriting Program and launching her company, Ellexia got her first script doctoring gig, helping a client score over $15 million in funding from film investors. Since then, a handful of the scripts that she was hired to rewrite got financed in the $20 million and $50 million range by producers and Silicon Valley investors. She's known for being very thorough in her work -- enabling her clients to secure funding from doing mostly just one round of rewrite on each of their scripts, saving clients the cost of having to hire WGA screenwriters to rewrite a script multiple times.

Our Script Coverage Team
Our team of sharp industry script readers have analyzed scripts for established producers, writers, and creative executives. They have covered scripts for reputable companies such as Studio Canal (a leading European film production/distribution company), Heroes and Villains Entertainment (a production/management company that creates content for film, TV and comic books) and 2929 Entertainment (established by successful entrepreneurs Todd Wagner and Mark Cuban). We provide useful script feedback to help clients brainstorm and craft stories that have entertainment value.
