Words on
the Page.

Scripts, stories, copy, voice — across every format, every platform, and every deadline.

The Craft

Every story
starts on the page.

HMG's writing practice covers the full spectrum — from feature scripts and television pilots to documentary narration, brand storytelling, and punchy social-first copy that actually holds attention.

Led by Brian Hanford — a writer-director whose work has aired on Amazon Prime, NBC, Lifetime, Fox, and Great American Family — we bring the instincts of the writers' room and the discipline of on-set production to every draft.

That means sharp, castable dialogue. Structural spine. Character voices that don't blend together. And prose that reads like it was written by someone who has been the executive getting the script, the producer pitching it, and the director shooting it — because we have.

Writing Offerings

Six distinct specialties, all united by the same obsession with voice, structure, and audience.

01
Narrative Scriptwriting
— Film & TV
Feature screenplays, TV pilots, and full series episodes. Original IP or commissioned work. Four-quadrant mainstream or adult prestige — we adapt our instincts to the destination.
Scripted · Original IP
02
Editing & Note Implementation
— for Existing Scripts
Deep structural analysis, page-by-page dialogue polish, and precise implementation of network, studio, or producer notes. We come in as surgical collaborators — respecting the writer's voice while solving the problems flagged in the notes.
Notes · Polish · Rewrite
03
Script Doctoring
— Tailored for Network Pitches
When a script is strong but not yet right for the room. We reshape tone, structure, and dialogue to meet the specific expectations of a target network or studio — without gutting what already works.
Pitch-Ready · Surgical
04
Story Producing & VO Writing
— Unscripted & Documentary
Field story producing, beat sheets, narrative arcs for unscripted series, and crystal-clear voiceover that moves a story without calling attention to itself. Credits include Health Uncensored with Dr. Drew, NBC's Wild Child, and Earth Odyssey with Dylan Dreyer.
Unscripted · Documentary · VO
05
Branded Content Writing
— & Development
Branded series concepts, sponsored documentary writing, campaign narratives, and original formats built around a brand's story. Previous work for Hearst, Impact Theory, Wiggle Room, Shay Media, and more.
Branded · Commercial
06
Social Content Writing
— & Strategy
Vertical-native scripts, serialized micro-drama formats, short-form hooks, and full social strategy. Built for the platforms where the next generation of storytelling is happening — and where a well-written first three seconds is everything.
Vertical · Short-Form

Every script we write has to do two things at once: read beautifully on the page, and survive the reality of a shoot day. That tension is the discipline. That's where the good stuff lives.
