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!
Looking for the next great horror comedy in the vein of the original SCREAM, always open to coming-of-age stories or family dramas, stories of messed up suburbia, dark comedy/thrillers a la THE MENU or throwback romcoms in the vein of something like SET IT UP. Always looking for the next movie that could be a Sundance darling or a festival favorite.
On the television side, compelling streaming dramas generally set in contemporary times or biting half-hours a la HACKS/30 ROCK/THE BEAR.
