This session format is available only to writers in our Top Tier Program.
This session includes 2 x 30 minute Zoom meetings.
In the first meeting, the exec will review the feature script OR pilot and bible (if provided) and meet with the writer via Zoom for 30 minutes to provide rewrite notes.
The writer will rewrite their script with the markup switch on and send it back to the exec to read and then meet with the exec via Zoom for a second 30 minutes to receive further feedback on their script.
I want to hear about your connection to the pitch – what makes you passionate about the idea, and why you’re the perfect (and only!) person to tell your story. Hook me in with the promise of your premise – a strong concept is key.
In film and TV, I’m a big lover of genre scripts! Send me your science fiction, horror, thrillers, psychological thrillers, and crime stories. Bonus points for black comedy and genre blending. Scripts with strong hooks, high concepts, and unique POVs will always catch my eye.
From my time working in the documentary field, I also enjoy scripts based on true stories or inspired by true events. As a sometimes-novelist, I’m also happy to read fiction manuscripts and explore possibilities for adaptation.
