Human review

One of our editors, who did not prepare your script, checks it against the paper and signs it off before you approve it. Revised scripts are reviewed again. Add it any time before you approve the script.

£99

£118.80 inc. VAT

Human review is a process: a second person checking the script against the paper. It does not replace your own approval, which is always the final check before a film is rendered.
