How it works
One stage at a time, in the order a story needs.
Each of twelve stages is owned by an agent built for that craft. It reads every decision made before it, does its work, and is graded before the next stage may build on it — so quality compounds instead of drifting.
How it is put together.
Twelve stages in five movements, from the creative contract to the compiled page. Nothing runs in isolation: every stage inherits the whole record of what has already been decided, and hands its own decisions forward as constraints.
01
Contract
01 Story DNA · 02 Research
The thematic spine, the moral question and the emotional promise, grounded in research that marks what is sourced and what is hypothesis.
02
People and place
03 World · 04 Cast · 05 Embodiment
Locations with their own look, sound and rules; a cast bible of wounds, motives and speech; then each character turned into a persistent voice.
03
Pressure
06 Conflict · 07 Structure · 08 Emotional design
What collides and the moral cliff at the centre, the runtime carved into sections, and one emotional curve for the film, designed before any beat.
04
Beats and scenes
09 Beats · 10 Scenes
Several complete beat boards, the strongest advancing; then every beat expanded into a scene card with want, obstacle, cost and subtext.
05
The page
11 Dialogue · 12 Screenplay
Lines written per character in that character's voice, compiled to industry format and timed to your runtime at a page a minute.
Three gates
At every stage, three questions before anything advances: is it well made, is it enough to build on, and does it meet the house standard set by the hit-screenplay bible. Weak work gets a specific diagnosis and a targeted rewrite; the parts that work are kept verbatim.
21 specialists
Each stage is owned by one of twenty-one specialist agents, working in parallel where the story allows and in strict order where it does not. The run executes as durable jobs that retry, resume after a restart, and pause rather than fail if credits run out.
The twelve stages.
01 · Story DNA
The creative contract: the thematic spine, the moral question and both sides of it, the four-corner opposition, and the emotional promise the film makes.
02 · Research
Grounded specifics instead of movie-generic ones. Sourced material is marked sourced; invented material is marked hypothesis.
03 · World
Locations with a visual and sound identity, symbolic weight and the rules of this world — not set dressing, but the world each scene is shot in.
04 · Cast
A cast bible: role, archetype, what each character knows and hides, motives, emotional wound, contradictions and how they speak.
05 · Embodiment
The cast stops being descriptions and becomes voices — persistent perspectives that debate their own profiles and write their own lines.
06 · Conflict
What collides and why, the stakes, and the irreversible moral cliff at the centre. Merely difficult choices are rejected here.
07 · Structure
The runtime carved into sections, each with act placement, structural function, timecode, emotional quotient and pacing.
08 · Emotional design
Elevation, humour and confrontation designed as their own layer, and one synthesised emotional curve for the whole film.
09 · Beats
Several complete beat boards, each beat carrying act, role, characters, location, emotional target and intensity. The strongest board advances.
10 · Scenes
Every beat expanded into scene cards: who wants what, what is in the way, what it costs, and the subtext underneath.
11 · Dialogue
Lines written per character, in that character's voice, using the real places and terms the research surfaced.
12 · Screenplay
Compiled to industry-standard format and timed to your runtime on the page-a-minute standard.
Three gates at every stage.
01 · Diagnose — is it well made?
A critic scores the pass against that stage's craft criteria and returns a verdict on what to do next, not just a number.
02 · Extend — is it enough to build on?
Separately: is the pass substantive enough for the next stage to do its job? If it is thin, it is extended exactly where it is shallow.
03 · Grade — does it meet the house standard?
Graded against the hit-screenplay bible, the encoded standard of what working screenplays do that failing ones don't.
The hit-screenplay bible
PAR2 LABS' standard covers premise, structural turns, character want and cost, scene craft, emotional escalation and climax convergence. It adapts per genre. What it evaluates is published; how it is weighted is not.
The specialists.
One agent per craft
Each stage is owned by an agent built for it, reading everything decided before it — a dependency-ordered team rather than one generalist answering a single prompt.
Parallel where it can be
Work runs in parallel where the story allows and in strict order where it does not.
Grouped by role
The Agent Garage lists every agent by role: orchestrator, generators, knowledge, scoring and audit.
Your choice of model
The model each agent runs on can be chosen in the Agent Garage, alongside the tools and the story bible the agents share.
Nothing hidden
The pipeline screen shows every stage as it runs, with how long it took, the tokens it used and what it cost.
Rerun when the idea changes
Change the idea and run the pipeline again.
Three ways to start.
Guided setup
Structured choices: genre, tone, theme, era, region, runtime, certificate rating, audience, structure convention and narration pace.
Describe your film
One paragraph in plain language. The studio reads it, fills in the setup faithfully, and shows a logline, plot line and synopsis for you to approve.
Upload an existing script
A PDF, Word file, plain text or Fountain file, rebuilt as a full project: characters, locations, relationships, beats and scenes.
The specification.
