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!
Be sure to start your pitch with a hook. The people hearing your pitch need to be given a reason to stick their neck out for your idea. To get them to be exciting enough to do this, you need them locked in to your pitch. In the same way that writers need to hook a reader on page one, you need to hook your audience on minute one of your pitch.
Also - always leave them wanting more. Don't go beat by beat through your story. Give them just enough to be engaged from beginning to end of the plot summary but only include the details that you feel make this project special or will be those big trailer moments.
And always have comps for your movie that are movies made in the last 5 years. Ex. If you have a coming of age romance, comp it to ANORA not PRETTY WOMAN.
Horror, action, and thriller genres in the feature space. Must be something that has potential for a theatrical release. Great characters that lean on the older side (30 and up).
Hard sci-fi, comedies, dramas, movies about people in their 20s or younger (for casting purposes).
