Anna Kreichman
IVI Original, Chief Editor
ACTS evaluates a scene or synopsis against a "standard level of adequacy" without the subjective biases of a real person. It won't be annoyed by your style and has no past traumas.
By following its feedback, you can create at the very least a story that actually works. You can achieve even more if you’re open to revisions and understand the suggested changes, much like working with a human editor.
Evan
Screenwriter
The film industry is a place where long production cycles coexist with sudden deadlines. ACTS is invaluable when you need to make a quick decision on material. It's like having a friend to ask for feedback on a new draft, but instead of taking a few days, the response takes just 2-3 minutes.

Screenwriter
ACTS helped me quickly refine my draft and strengthen my story without the usual frustration.

Producer
Showing someone your first draft can be very intimidating. However, it's the only way to create something worthwhile. ACTS makes this process painless and simple: you can run through a million drafts before showing them to a real person.

Created by alumni of the USA's top film school
Our team's experience includes:
Mikhail Saburov
Director and screenwriter, screenwriting teacher, AFI'20
Hi! I'm Mikhail Saburov, a Russian-American award-winning director and screenwriter, and an alum of the AFI Conservatory, #1 film school in the USA. I've written numerous screenplays and taught screenwriting to over 3000 students worldwide.
One thing I hate the most is waiting weeks for feedback on my work. Everyone's busy — I get it. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Enter ACTS! My team and I have leveraged our expertise to develop this dramaturgical analysis system, based on the practices of top industry experts. Make your story shine today, not a month later when your friends finally get around to reading it.

Why can AI provide good feedback?We use a model that understands context, recognizes dramaturgical techniques, and applies different approaches to analyze various formats. Our feedback system has been developed over several years and tested with thousands of screenwriting students. And if you have any doubts, you can try ACTS for free.
-
How do I use the 3 free pages you're offering?To get started, register with ACTS by clicking any orange button on the website. Upload a synopsis or scene up to 3 pages long, and you'll receive feedback completely free of charge. Please note that ACTS counts pages by word count. One page on ACTS is equivalent to 250 words.
-
Why is the page count in ACTS different from the original file?An ACTS page is equivalent to 250 words. We chose this standard to balance the differences between synopsis pages and screenplay pages. When you purchase a page for upload in ACTS, you’re essentially buying 250 words. We use the term “pages” for convenience. Therefore, if you're uploading screenplay pages, the total number of pages in ACTS may be fewer than in your original file. Conversely, if you're uploading a synopsis, the total number of pages in ACTS might be slightly higher.
-
How can I upload more pages?You can purchase additional pages for uploading. Please note that you are buying pages to upload for feedback, not the feedback pages themselves. For example, if you buy 5 pages, you can upload a synopsis or scene up to 5 pages long. If you buy 30 pages, you can spend them on an entire short film script or divide them among several scenes or synopses. Currently, you can buy additional pages in packages of 5, 30, or 90 pages. These pages can be used at any time and for any number of materials. The larger the package you buy, the lower the cost per page. You can purchase additional page packages directly within the ACTS platform.

Can I save the generated feedback?Absolutely! We send each feedback report to the email you registered with. You can download these files or keep them in your inbox—whichever suits you best. If the feedback is generated within the platform, you can also download the file directly. Please note that ACTS does not store user history on the platform.
