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.

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

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.
