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!
Character always comes first, approach any pitch like you're telling a campfire story, casual is very key.
Right now I'm very interested in sports stories or anything related to video games. Also love sci-fi / fantasy or period. Also have an interest in female action comedies or low-budget, producible horror projects.
