Get an exec's perspective on the opening pages of your script.
- The executive of your choice will spend 10 minutes reading the opening pages of your script.
- The exec will provide a feedback report on that read which you will receive within 7 to 10 business days of the scheduled session.
Hook the audience with an anecdote about yourself and why you are passionate about the project you're pitching. It's ok to have notes with you, but staying natural and conversational, rather than reading straight from your notes, helps you connect with the audience. Producers and execs are hearing multiple pitches per day, so talk about the qualities that are unique to you and your project so that you stand out as memorable.
I'm particularly drawn to high-concept series that bend or blend genres in interesting ways. Some recent favorites are WANDAVISION, THE AFTER PARTY, and SEVERANCE. I also enjoy YA more than most execs (in my experience). But my experience in both development and writing has spanned genres.
I really don't like horror.
