More About Me
Toby Scales is often referred to as the Niels Bohr of the written word. He has no idea why.
Toby recently settled in New York, where he studies and performs improv comedy with the Upright Citizens Brigade. His darkly-comic screenplay "Joe" was Semi-Finalist in the prestigious StoryPros competition and a Quarter-Finalist in both BlueCat and Scriptapalooza.
Check out his pilot for 22-minute comedy series called The Amazing Heroes!!, about a group of ordinary people who suddenly discover they have slightly extraordinary abilities. Then peep his screenplay Dutch Tape, about an office supply salesman who makes a backroom deal involving invisible tape and suddenly finds himself pursued by the FBI and the Japanese mafia.
Then go have a cup of tea. You earned it.

Reviews I've Written
The Amazing Heroes!! Short Video 1 - The Amazing Heroes -- Promo
5 stars
This is an old video, a promo my first attempt at bringing this project to the screen. Some of the characters/names are a bit different but it gives a sense of the overall comedy and tone.

The Heavy, Pilot Script 2 - Fixed a few errors
2 stars
Unclear about the concept from ep 1. Characters and situations feel stock. Some good lines but overall lacks originality and punch.

Mort Grimley, Pilot Script 1 - Pilot: The Suicide Mission
3 stars
More complete feedback in the Praise, a disclaimer... thread. Overall it's well-written but derivative. Lacks a strong central character and the premise/world needs work. Look forward to a rewrite.

Simon Says, Pilot Script 1 - Simon Says - Pilot
2 stars
Boring because it is not grounded in a familiar reality. Also the hero has no relatable challenges to overcome. Seems like the writer has talent, just needs to care about his characters more.

Everything is Normal, Pilot Script 1 - Pilot
3 stars
The idea has potential, the story is clearly structured and dialogue moves quickly. Unf the plot is unbelievable, the characters are shallow and there's not a lot of orginality here.
