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!
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.
