As a producer, I am most interested in emotionally grounded, character-driven genre stories for series and feature: sci-fi, climate fiction, supernatural, etc. These can be dramatic or comedic, heavy or light on their feet: STATION ELEVEN and WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS are good comps, as are SILO, ARCANE, SCAVENGERS REIGN, Mike Flanagan's series, Jordan Peele's films — even something as experimental as NEPTUNE FROST. The one thing I am not looking for is bleak — no THE LAST OF US. I am really interested in helping writers find their voice and projects find their fullest expression.
Not looking for network-style, multi-cam comedy, nor YA.
