KILLER NOTES
Script coverage and consultation by Chris Pittas
About me
(and you)
Like you, I love tv and movies like the family, friends and teachers that they are. It took years to overcome the self-defeating delusion that I wasn't good enough to make writing my career. I'm now a professional screenwriter and filmmaker living in Hollywood and want to help you find your path to do the same.
My notes and consultations have helped dozens of writers gain high placement and awards for their scripts from top contests like Academy Nicholl, Austin Film Fest, and Final Draft Big Break (see testimonials).There are infinite paths to success as a screenwriter but it all starts with great stories and your ability to tell them.
I especially love exploring dark stories. If you write thrillers, horror or dark comedies, we speak the same language. Of course, I love great scripts from any genre and I'm happy to help anyone who might want to explore the shadowy edges of storytelling within whatever they're working on.
Bona Fides
In the past 5 years I’ve gone from writing my first screenplays, to winning awards, getting repped and optioned, selling produced scripts, working as an analyst for a major screenwriting contest and being hired to write articles about screenwriting for Final Draft Inc.
I’m currently working on a true-crime thriller feature being packaged for major streamers. My features, pilots and shorts regularly win multiple awards. My thriller SCORPIONS, reached #1 in Genre and top 1% overall on Coverfly's Red List, Final Draft Big Break's Top 10 2021, QF in Austin Film Festival 2021, and earned me a spot on ISA's Top 25 Screenwriters to Watch of 2022.
My pilots, HARDCORE '86 and CITY OF SOULS, made top 20 on Coverfly's Redlist, Top 100 in Launch Pad's Pilot Competition, Semifinalist in ScreenCraft's Screenwriting Fellowship and have garnered many more laurels and accolades.
My self-produced horror short ART KILLS won numerous awards from indie film fests and caught the attention of producer Jakob Pollack of Vertigo Entertainment, leading to a "First-Look" agreement.
There’s more, but you get the picture.

Testimonials
DOUG SPALTRO
Award Winning Screenwriter and Filmmaker
I had a script that I hadn't touched in some time. Chris' notes hit my script with precision and accuracy I was not expecting. He helped me revive the script, which went on to gain placement in this year’s Shore Scripts and PAGE Awards and jumped to Top 1% on Coverfly's Redlist. Chris is the real deal, will elevate your story and will elevate YOU as a creative entity.
SARAH JAYNE BROWN
Award Winning Screenwriter and Journalist
Chris has been giving me notes for less than a year. Within that short span of time he has been highly influential in regards to the strides I have made towards developing my portfolio. His notes on your work will be the perfect blend of encouragement on what works and candor on what needs improvement. When he reads your screenplay, he reads it with the same attention to detail as his own work. This is what sets him apart.
SVEN ANARKI
Award Winning Screenwriter and Novelist
The coverage I received from Chris Pittas was invaluable. He has a very strong sense of structure, storyline and an innate ability at highlighting commercial potential, but what makes him unique in the field is that he also has a keen eye for the “art” and soul of a project; something I’ve found woefully lacking in the scores of other services I’ve paid for. Working with his notes and suggestions we took a basic story idea and turned it into a completed screenplay, which has since placed at the Austin Film Festival, the Los Angeles International Screenplay Awards, and from multiple other competitions, has had the script jump from its initial spot of on Coverfly’s 96,000 projects into the Top 5%.
GREG BLACKMON
Writer, Dancer and Choreographer
Chris has an eye for exciting story. I’m still new to this game, but he’s GREATLY boosted my confidence as a writer with his notes. He’s managed to do the very thing I’ve struggled with which is GET OUT OF MY OWN WAY! And he managed to open my mind up to ideas I hadn’t even realized we’re there before. This man is an absolute champion. And I feel more than prepared to move forward in pursuing my writing career.
