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!
If you're excited about it, I'll be excited about it. Try to relax and keep the pitch macro to leave room for questions and conversation. Tone and audience are always helpful, and prepared comps can be good north stars in conveying your vision.
low-mid budget films with strong points of view, ensemble half-hours, female-driven comedies, broad comedy features, hour-long procedurals in an untapped world or with new way into a familiar world, animation through an artist lens, southern stories
high-concept series or films. Multiverses, fantasy world-building, rich complicated lore. I'm a fan, but unfortunately not the best fit as a producer!
