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!
Characters are the main element. Who are we spending 30 minutes, one hour or two hours with? Be excited about your story. It's your creation! Make me excited. We're all creators and artists. Relax. Let's have a conversation. Ask yourself, "why out of all of the entertainment available in the world, should someone spend their time with my project?" What makes this story special?
Teen and college stories. Stories with vibrant and defined characters. Stories with BIPOC characters.
Science Fiction. Space. Western. Post-Apocalyptic. Dystopian.
