Stories (either 1/2 hour or full hour) the put a fresh spin a familiar genre or trope. Can your project lure me in with a premise I think I'm prepared for, and then send me off in a different direction with confidence and intention?
Also, I'm always drawn to stories that find a way to tap into our cultural anxieties, either directly via plot lines, or indirectly via deftly woven subtext. I find that these are the sorts of stories that stay with us long after we watch them, regardless of genre. Some examples in this vein that come to mind are SQUID GAME, FLEABAG, ATLANTA, BLACK MIRROR, LUPIN, among many others.
In the literary world, my absolutely favorite genre to read is YA fantasy/sci fi. If you can put teenagers into world that demands too much of them, and still respect them as the pubescent messes they are, you've got my attention. I'm also happy to help memoirists find their voices and the through line stories that will truly make their journeys memorable on the page.
