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.
