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!
I love a personal connection to a story. You don't need to necessarily pull from your own life, but there should be something about the story, characters, or world that drew you as the writer in. From there, you can build the basis of why I as the buyer should care about this project, and moreover why it shouldn't just feel like another box on the development slate. Executives are really busy, often times juggling dozens of projects at once, so your pitch needs to stand out as something they'd be willing to put in overtime for. The best pitches I've heard over the years didn't just have a hook, they had an emotional center that made me want to hear more.
Any and all genres! I have helped build companies with a wide range of outputs, including films, TV shows, and documentaries in all genres. With this in mind, I love to constantly work on something different, rather than falling into one lane or another. Realistically, many films and shows that are made today are a blend of two or more genres. Most recently I balanced a coming-of-age TV show with a documentary on the deathcare industry. Believe it or not, working on each of these really helped with the other!
