Work one-on-one with an executive at mutually agreed upon times around your schedule. To start, you'll have a 15-minute strategy call with your executive to get the lay of the land for the month. Then, you’ll have email access to your executive throughout, plus four one-hour story notes sessions. Work on a single screenplay or multiple scripts plus get additional notes on your pitch, brand strategy, and career advice - work your mentorship to its fullest potential!
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.
