I should feel like the least stressful person you are pitching to. Be honest, tell me a story that you care about, and make me feel the intended emotion or reflect quizzically at what is at the heart of your show. And please, don't take yourself too seriously. Unless that means a million puns, then cool it on the puns.
Single camera half hour emotional comedies, biting, satirical comedies, and funny hourlong dramas. Any show or project that's interested in telling the truth about life from a unique character's POV, where the writer understands that drama needs to have comedy in order to feel honest, and that comedy needs drama to help ground it.
TV Movies, Lifetime Movies, anything incredibly violent for no reason like torture porn movies.
Alex Farber is a television writer/producer currently working in Hollywood. Having grown up in Los Angeles, he has spent most of his life on set or in a writers room in one form or another. Having gotten his start as a P.A.

Along the way he has written, developed, and sold shows to Netflix, HBO, Shondaland, Annapurna, and others. Additionally, he has sold a podcast pilot to iHeartRadio, and helped adapt a podcast from Wondery (now Amazon) into a TV show. In addition to being staffed, he is also currently developing a show for Showtime (now Showtime on Paramount+).

Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your registration for a refund or Roadmap gift card if you have not yet submitted your material for review. However, once your material has been received by Roadmap, your registration cannot be canceled. Having revised material or a desire to retroactively apply a discount or gift card code are not grounds for cancellation, refunds, or gift card credit. Once your material has been submitted, the only acceptable grounds for cancellation and a refund or gift card credit is an unforeseen, ongoing emergency on the part of either the writer or the exec resulting in more than 6 weeks without any scheduling update from the exec via direct contact or Roadmap, or a sudden change in the exec's ongoing availability. In the instance of an irreconcilable scheduling issue, the writer may still receive a written feedback report from the exec. In this case, the writer is not entitled to a refund or gift card credit as the exec has read the submitted material and provided written feedback in lieu of the call.
