Need some extra guidance on your pitch? Wanting some one-on-one with an exec to get your pitch really polished? You know the importance of a strong pitch, but so many factors go into making it resonate, and it always requires more practice than you think. In your private 30-minute call with the exec, you'll get tailored guidance to prepare you for your best delivery yet. Submit your 1-2 page written pitch for the exec's prior review, and you'll begin the call by giving your 5-7 minute verbal pitch. You’ll then discuss delivery, clarity, structure, characterization, pacing, the opening of your pitch, and how best to end.

Christianne Cruz is a creative executive with an intuition for market trends and a unique ability to cultivate emerging talents. In her current role at Brazen Entertainment, a production company that connects Asian cinema with Hollywood, she has maneuvered the world of international filmmaking over the last year.
Cruz worked for the Head of Motion Picture Literary at ICM Partners (now CAA), supporting writer/director clients like Bong Joon Ho, Tracy Oliver, Olivia Milch, Joseph Khan, and Hype Williams.

She set up projects at Stage 6/Sony, Foxxhole (Jamie Foxx), Incognegro (Billy Porter), and Andrew Lauren Productions. Her love for horrors led her to produce and direct a film that showed at over a dozen fests including Screamfest, Brooklyn Horror, Cinequest, and MotelX.
Cruz is committed to telling diverse stories that permeate pop culture -- from the heart, for the screen.

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.
