Short films are a great and accessible way to get your feet wet as a multihyphenate (writer-producer, writer-director), and give you real world experience to set yourself apart. In the Shorts Consult, you will submit your short film script (20 pages max) to the exec of your choice, and have a 30 minute notes call to discuss feedback on pacing, character, dialogue and tone, how to elevate marketability, and strategy for next steps.

Tell me about you. Your story is less interesting than you - I promise!
What is it about your life right now that makes you want to tell this story?
I'm particularly interested in writers who are wrestling with something emotional or spiritual. I'm less interested in a twisty plot, and more interested in deep feeling.
Danny Rocco is a playwright, producer, and professional script consultant/doctor. He worked on the creative team of writers Joshua John Miller and M.A. Fortin for several years (QUEEN OF THE SOUTH/THE EXORCISM), and is now seeking new scripts for development at his production company Brontosaurus Haircut Productions.
His play "What the Sparrow Said" is now a short film, directed by Tim Guinee, executive produced by Anson Mount (@SparrowTheMovie), and is making its way through the festival circuit.
As a playwright, his work has been developed and produced in New York, Los Angeles, Cape Cod, Colorado, Romania, at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, and Oregon Shakespeare Festival. He is a Yaddo resident artist, Edward F. Albee Fellow, Arctic Circle fellow, Forge Fellow, and graduate of New York University’s Gallatin School and Columbia University’s School of the Arts with an MFA in playwriting.

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.
