This session format is available only to writers in our Top Tier Program.
Exec will read the first 15 pages of your script and conduct a 20-min. general meeting with you via Zoom.
Why is this story important to you? Why are you excited to sit down and build a world around your idea? This can be a conflicted character, a daring choice, or a concept that you can't get out of your head -- convey why you're excited and invested!
Most of my writing has been in the half-hour and one-hour television space, both in comedy and drama, and I especially enjoy scripts that blend the two into dramedy -- finding the right balance between humor and deeper scenes of emotion and personal conflict. Relationship-based stories, light genre, situation comedy, and superhero stuff tends to be my forte.
Horror, political stories, hard science-fiction, intense action.
