If scripts are subtext, pitches are text. You can literally say, "this is a story about forgiveness" (if the main theme is "forgiveness"). Everything that is interesting about a project, including twists, should be front and center in the pitch. From there, think about how theme and character arc come together to form the story you're trying to tell.
My favorite projects tend to be nuanced, character-driven stories that aren't afraid to take risks. I love big, fresh, authentic worlds that feel lived in and unique spins on traditional genres. Above all, I want you as the writer to be extremely passionate about the story you're working on and to feel that in the emotional journey of the script.
I'm not into dense biopics.

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.
