Left-of-center dark comedies with a strong hook. Looking for writers with a really strong POV that comes through in the writing. "Anything weird" is how I usually pitch it; if a concept feels ambitious, I'm into it :) Big fan of morally-ambiguous characters and messy (like, really messy, Roy-level) family stories. Would also love to find a really inventive creature feature and a smart rom-com.
Action, war-era features/TV, cop or detective stories, haunted house or fantasy horror (vampires, werewolves, etc.). Westerns unless there's a really specific way in (comedic or modern Western is fine, etc. I love STAGECOACH but not looking for the remake.)
