This session format is available only to writers in our Top Tier Program.
Exec will read your 30 pages from each of 2 scripts or 20 pages from each of 3 scripts and meet with the writer via zoom for 30 mins to get to know the writer and their portfolio
Keep it punchy, moving, and true to you. Have visuals that bring the world you're writing to life, especially if it's a world most people aren't familiar with. It also helps executives from checking their phones. Have fun with it! Make a supplementary playlist or something else that feels organic to your series. For my series, I got my development deal after soft pitching it in a general with a ton of enthusiasm.
Half-hour streaming, cable, network, multi-cam, single cam. Big, fun weirdo comedies. Anything with a heart. Messy characters who can't get their lives together. Coming of age stories. Female-driven series and features. Musically-driven series and features. Rom coms. Silly, raunchy comedies.
Procedurals, mainly because I've never written one.
