Pam helps make scripts better.  She is a combination of firm but gentle midwife, cheerleader and taskmaster when necessary.  Her formidable intuition and dramatic chops helps writers enhance the overall impact of their work.

- Les Thomas, Writer/Producer

As a filmmaker, I like to surround myself with people who can be great creative team players, who can provide support in order to realize a common vision.  Pamela is a person you want to have on your team.  I have always felt at my very best when she is around.  Her intelligence and insight I find extremely comforting and always on point.   When you’re deep in the mix, you want someone like her by your side.

- E.Tse, Director/Filmmaker

I would like to say that Pamela Forrest is a great writer, but the truth is that she is a wizard who can make magic leap off a written page. She can take a bud of an idea and bring it to full bloom. Her work is sharp and insightful, witty and compassionate – but with a dark twist. Directing? Pam’s empathic and intuitive enough to carve a jewel from the rawest of subjects.  I recommend!

- Sherrie S., Producer, Sony Pictures Television

Oh my god you are worth every single cent of your price!!!  So intuitive and brilliant.  Honestly, I am amazed by your insight.  Incredible!

- Jorli McLain, Screenwriter

Pamela Forrest possesses a rare combination of both organization and creativity.  And she’s one of the most sincere and kindest people I know.  Everyone should be so fortunate as to have Pam as their friend and advisor.

- Dave Beasing, Program Director, KSWD-FM/Los Angeles, 100.3 The Sound

Pamela Forrest is Muse personified.  She is intimately acquainted with the broad strokes and subtle shifts necessary to tell a great story.  She strikes a perfect balance between gentle nurturing and firm-handed redirection when necessary.  I couldn’t think of a better guide through the dense, sometimes overwhelming jungle of Story-Craft.

- Neilia V. Brown, Writer/Actress

Pamela Forrest is a brilliant writer, insightful critic, knowledgeable teacher and the perfect companion for the journey into the heart of one’s writing.  I’ve been fortunate to work with Pam over the last ten years – as writer, actor, director and critic – and my own writing is the better for it.  She gives smart, savvy feedback in a supportive manner that will empower you.  Pam’s a pleasure to work with because she’s bright, intuitive and very, very, very funny.

- Mary Casey, Playwright

I was introduced to Pam Forrest’s work through a production of her award-winning play ”Valsetz.”  It was a gem of a production – well cast, beautifully designed and directed – but it was her ability as a writer to so elegantly weave together humor and pathos that elevated the play from a piece of entertainment to a deeply moving experience.

Since that time, I have worked closely with Pam developing two of her original concepts into TV series for network pitches, and I have been struck by how incredibly kind she is to the characters she writes, no matter how ugly or damaged they might appear to be.  She creates and then slowly peels back the complex layers protecting her characters’ fragile egos to reveal the still-glowing spark of humanity in them and, by extension, in all of us.  Pam has a particular talent for using humor not for cheap laughs or pot-shots but as a means of shining a bright light into the dark corners of the human psyche.

Pam is truly an ideal collaborator, and I found the process of developing concepts with her to be as personally nourishing as they were professionally satisfying.

- Susan Stoebner, Producer

I highly recommend Pam’s skills as well as her positive approach to life. She brings a smile and a generous heart to every situation.  You couldn’t do better in your search for a script consultant.

Were I to take the time needed to detail each of Pam’s prodigious strengths and how they can (without a doubt) fortify and enrich your writing (or your acting), you and I would be here for days and, by then, I would probably have eroded my credibility entirely with my unabashed display of enthusiasm (including wild gesticulations and lots of jumping up and down to persuade you of her amazingness.)  You’d end up thinking I was nuts and it would be a waste of a well-deserved testimonial.  So, with my adoration in check, let me simply state that my thoughts, performances, and spirit have been forever elevated to heights beyond my own reach by the talent, intellect, and insight of Pam Forrest.  And yours, I’m certain, will be too.

I’ve collaborated with Pam on a number of projects and her creativity, improvisational skills, and thoughtful writing helped us generate amazing dialogue and believable characters. It was a great experience from blank page to the close of production.

I am particularly pleased to refer Ms. Pamela Forrest’s services to the world at large, as she was undeniably the driving force (and quite the force to be reckoned with, at that) which helped me fine tune a play I’d been writing and rewriting for several years.  After about month of meeting together once a week, I’m pleased to say that, thanks to her services, my play was one of three that was chosen for the LIT (Lesbians in Theatre) contest shortly thereafter and subsequently produced as a staged reading at the Davidson/Valenti theater in Los Angeles.  I have also worked as an actor under Ms. Forrest’s adept direction for the theatre on more than one occasion.  She has a very unique ability to work intuitively whilst maintaining firm direction in any field of work – a fine balancing act, indeed!  I would work with her again in a hearbeat!

- Lily Sauvage, Actor, Writer

I have had the pleasure of entrusting a number of scripts to Pamela’s unique directorial vision and have always been charmed by the results.  What luck to find someone who is both objective and insightful to helm your work.  I wholeheartedly look forward to future collaborations.

- Anita C. George, Playwright

Pam was extraordinarily helpful when I needed a crackerjack acting coach to prepare for a high-stakes audition. Her feedback is thoughtful, smart, specific and useful and she offers a kind and joyful partner in the creative process. Plus, she makes me laugh and keeps my spirits flying high.
