Testimonials on Danny:
 

Danny was an invaluable asset and collaborator in both the production and creative elements of the films we produced. His knowledge was critical to the development of our scripts and his original ideas and approaches were a major factor in our development and decision making process. I have only the greatest respect for his talents, which is why I continue you to work with him on my own material.  

~ J.S. Cardone, Screenwriter/Director (Prom Night, The Covenant, Stepfather, The Forsaken, etc)

 

“Danny’s got some of the best story instincts around and the enviable ability to enhance every script he works on. As an exec, he knows the business, the players and the marketplace and is able to bring this knowledge to his work as a script consultant. We’ve worked on many projects together and he’s still the person I ask for story and casting input.”  

~ Clifford Werber, Producer (Cinderella Story, Sydney White, Just Add Water)

 

“Danny’s worked with studios and independents and knows how to handle writers at every level. He loves discovering and working with new writers and making their material shine as best it can...He cuts through the crap and at the end of the day, any writer or producer would be lucky to have him in their corner.” ~ Scott Einbinder, Producer, (Walled In, The Covenant, Sniper 2&3)

 

“Danny Manus is a terrific go-to guy for script consulting. He is intelligent, extremely thorough, and honest. He also really knows the Hollywood script market, so his advice is very well founded.” ~ David Kohner Zuckerman, producer (Strictly Sexual) and Founder of Script Coach and Virtual Pitchfest

 

“Danny has a knack for identifying and unveiling great writing talent that the marketplace responds to. I have always received positive feedback from buyers and it truly shows his great instincts and development skills with material.” ~ Ariel Ciudadano, Literary Agent, Acrobatic Entertainment
