The exec of your choice will read either the first 25 pages of 4 scripts, 33 pages of 3 scripts, or the first 50 pages of 2 scripts. You'll also submit a one-pager of loglines (to include Title, Format, Genre, and Comps with each logline) for their review. Then you'll have a one-hour call with the exec to get their notes and feedback on your portfolio as a whole, as well as receive marketing and career advice. Be prepared to ask guiding questions!

Having worked in the television and film industry for over ten years, Brian has developed a sharp editorial eye. His career began in the BBC's Continuing Drama department, where he worked on many of their flagship TV shows. However, drama would not be his only home.
Brian caught the attention of Danny Cohen, then Director of BBC Television. Cohen recognised Brian's comedic potential and introduced him to Shane Allen, the BBC's Controller of Comedy Commissioning. This connection led to Brian’s first writing credit on THE JAVONE PRINCE SHOW, cementing his passion for comedy and drama.
Brian's talent for humour was further honed when he attended the National Film and Television School’s Comedy Writing and Producing diploma, following some gentle encouragement from Channel 4 comedy commissioner Rachel Springett, known for championing talents like Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Michaela Coel.
At the NFTS, he wrote, directed, and produced his first short film, BLIND DATE, a project that provided him valuable insight into the challenges of short-form filmmaking.
Straddling both development and writing, Brian has continued to champion new voices. His keen eye for talent once again caught Rachel Springett's attention, leading him to introduce her to standout projects like Adjani Salmon’s DREAMING WHILST BLACK, Troy Hunter’s BLACK PRIDE, and I’M ALL FINE NOW—the latter of which he co-wrote and was optioned by Maia Pictures, where Brian now collaborates with Springett.
With a unique perspective shaped by his writing roots, Brian plays a pivotal role in developing Maia’s eclectic slate—script editing and nurturing projects to a standard that gives them the best possible chance of being greenlit.
In recognition of his contributions, he was named a Broadcast Hotshot in 2024, establishing himself as a development producer whom writers can trust to bring out the best in their work while keeping their vision intact.

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.
