INT. IMPERIAL PALACE - THE EMPEROR'S TRICLINIUM - NIGHT
Oil lamps gutter. CLAUDIUS, 63, emperor of Rome, gray as ash, reclines at a table set for two. By the door, the taster's stool sits empty.
AGRIPPINA, 39, enters carrying the bronze pitcher herself. Serene. She pours two cups. Her hands do not shake.
CLAUDIUS
The boy. Where is he?
AGRIPPINA
Asleep. I sent him.
She sets the nearer cup before him and turns the handle toward his hand. A courtesy. He studies the cup, not her.
AGRIPPINA (CONT'D)
He is not ready to be emperor.
A flicker beneath the serenity. She knows what the boy is.
CLAUDIUS
No. He is not.
The words sit between them.
CLAUDIUS (CONT'D)
But the Senate confirms him in the morning, and it must. Rome will forgive a young emperor. It does not forgive an empty throne.
AGRIPPINA
He is sixteen.
CLAUDIUS
And I was fifty when they pulled me from behind the curtain and called me a god. Age is not the first thing the crowd eats.
Agrippina considers his words. Her eyes go to the cup.
AGRIPPINA
Drink your wine. Rest. Tomorrow belongs to Rome.
CLAUDIUS
(turning the cup slowly)
They will say I died of age. Age, and the August air.
He lifts the cup and holds it between them. A toast, or an accusation.
CLAUDIUS (CONT'D)
To the boy. May he learn what I learned too late.
AGRIPPINA
And what is that?
CLAUDIUS
Watch the ones who pour.
He drinks. All of it. He sets the cup down without a sound. Agrippina watches him, her hands perfectly still.
CLAUDIUS (CONT'D)
Sit with me awhile. It will not be long.
She sits. After a moment, she takes his hand. The lamps gutter lower.
Twelve readers in the margins. They question and challenge. They never rewrite your words.
How it works
Auteurium is a full development team: a director, an actor, a dialogue coach, a script supervisor, a structure analyst, and more. Convene them on your script and each one reads it through their own craft, giving specific, curated notes in your margins.
Chat with any reader, or convene the whole team at once. They question, they challenge, they hold your script to its promises. They never touch your words unless you ask for a draft, and nothing enters your script until you accept it.
This is world-class development, on demand, scene by scene. A strong scene can come back with nothing to fix. No notes is the team telling you the page already holds.
Under the hood the specialists are built on modern language models, curated in the craft of cinema: story, structure, character, and the language of film. The contract is editorial: they question the work, never seize it.
A different kind of screenwriting software
Most screenwriting software makes you pay just to write. We believe writing should be free. That's just the beginning.
Auteurium is the first modern screenwriting software with an entire professional development room inside. Twelve readers who know your story, question your choices, and hold your promises to account, scene by scene, draft by draft.
A generic tool can hand you notes. It cannot hold the contract of your work, honor the law of your vision, or understand the voice and style that are yours alone.
A professional coverage read costs one to two hundred dollars and takes weeks. Auteurium gives you the freedom, through modern tools, to fully express yourself, always under your own authorship.
Pricing
A studio rate card for the work around the page.
Writing never costs anything. 15 credits a month to meet the room, and 25 trial credits when you arrive. No card.
250 credits a month. For steady development: full room convenes, whole script reads, regular consults.
Locked for life. Opening cohort only.
Purchased credits never expire.
Monthly credits are for that month. Your words export free, forever.
About Auteurium
Auteurium is a small studio with one builder behind it, a lifelong lover of cinema, performance art, and screenwriting, who wanted to give writers modern tools to fully express themselves, and to bring their visions and ideas to the page, and ultimately to the screen.
The work is simple enough in principle: the writer comes first, is always in control, and every note must honor their work and earn its place on the page.
There is no team photo because there is no team. There is a room, and it answers to you.
Your pages are yours. We never use your writing to train any model, and we never will. Our provider is held to the same line by contract, and the room is calibrated on test scenes we wrote ourselves.
