“I’ve never worked with a finer Development Executive than Shoka“
“In my forty plus years in the movie business, I’ve been very fortunate to work with most of the major US Studios, many Independent Producers and Development Executives. In all that time, I’ve never worked with a finer Development Executive than Shoka Shohani. She has a keenly honed sense of what makes a scene work: how that scene moves the story forward and how the story flows as a piece from beginning to end. Her notes are concise. Her respect for the creative process is profound. Her love of movies is boundless. Having Shoka Shohani as a creative partner on a project, immediately raises the artistic and commercial viability of the work. In short, Shoka is the best.”
“I recommend Shoka and Script Magick without reservation.“
“I have had the pleasure of working with Shoka Shohani and her Script Magick team on several film projects. Their feedback has had a pivotal impact on our scripts. As she has taken good scripts and helped to make them great- and she does it all with a great deal of charm and charisma. I have seen Shoka work with all styles of writers with all temperaments and she is just the person I want working with my team. On two of our projects we asked Shoka to join our producing team due to her impact on the writers and her sensibility for the stories.“
“Working with Shoka has been such a gift.“
“She has this incredible ability to see both the heart of a story and the craft behind it, and she gives feedback in a way that feels honest, encouraging, and empowering all at once. What I appreciate most is that she doesn’t just point out what’s working or not working, she really engages with the material, helping you see possibilities you might have missed.
Her insights into character and structure gave us clarity and confidence moving forward, and I felt like she was genuinely invested in making the project the best it could be. Shoka has a sharp eye for storytelling and a real instinct for what will connect with audiences.
She’s professional, generous with her time, and brings so much passion to the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, grounded guidance on their script or project.“
“Working with Shoka has been a seamless process into which she’s brought a spirit of genuine partnership to the task.“
“Entrusting a screenplay with script advisors can be daunting, but working with Shoka has been a seamless process into which she’s brought a spirit of genuine partnership to the task. Her coverage of the script for ‘Santa Monica’ demonstrates she has an intuitive grasp of theme, narrative, character, dialogue and action, gets the screenwriter’s vision and gives the kind of constructive feedback that gives projects momentum.“
“To understate it, I feel quite fortunate to work with her.”
“I’ve worked with a fair share of script editors before now and none have even scratched the surface Shoka so effortlessly lives on. She has an intuitive flair, able to understand and stitch up a project rather than reinvent it. She cares for the story, polishing it so that others might see it in full glory. On a personal level, Shoka is an exquisite, empathetic, and incredibly smart human. A pure joy to be around! To understate it, I feel quite fortunate to work with her.“
“Script Magick is the place to go.“
“Working with Shoka Shohani at Script Magick has been a genuinely transformative experience for my writing process. What sets them apart isn’t just their understanding of structure, character, or cinematic pacing—it’s their ability to see the story I was trying to tell, I seem to have too much story and detail. They have helped me to create sharp, focused dialogue and action. They didn’t sugarcoat anything, and I appreciated that deeply. When something wasn’t working, they told me—but always with clarity, purpose, and solutions. They challenge you to go deeper, cut fluff, and be honest with your own narrative. That kind of guidance is rare. If you’re looking for someone to nod and say “it’s fine,” look elsewhere. But if you’re ready to elevate your script and face the truth of your work (the good, the bad, and the brilliant waiting underneath), Script Magick is the place to go.“
