Hello and welcome! My name is Emilie Lorditch and I am the founder of Real 2 Reel Science. I've been a science writer for over 25 years and specialize in finding unique ideas “ripped from the science headlines” that just might be the idea that you are looking for your to make your script stand out.

​

After attending the launch of the Science and Entertainment Exchange in 2008, I began to look for ways to use my skills to bridge the worlds of science and entertainment. 

 

A year later, I participated in the American Film Institute‘s (AFI) Catalyst program: a three-day crash course for scientists about screenwriting. This program not only gave me my first experience working with a screenwriter, but it also led to me to work with screenwriting students at the AFI Conservatory as an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Science Advisor. The goal of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation film school program is to influence the next generation of filmmakers to create more realistic and dramatic stories about science and technology while also challenging existing stereotypes about scientists and engineers through the use visual media.

​

Since then, I've taken courses through the UCLA Extension on script analysis and developing scripts based on true stories, I have also received my reader certification though the Hollywood Gatekeepers program. 

​​

For the last six years I have been a reader. I have had the opportunity to read scripts for the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Science Nicholl Fellowships, the Austin Film Festival and private screenwriter clients.

​

How I work with writers:

​​

​Your story is yours. I’m not here to change it or be the accuracy police. I want to help with ideas and suggestions to elevate your story it. My goal is simple. I want to help improve and enhance the script you’ve already poured your heart into. I can identify what's not working and offer fresh ideas and creative alternatives to strengthen your plot, characters or dialogue. Let's take your existing vision and maximize its artistic and commercial potential. Take what speaks to you and leave the rest behind.
