Anything faith-based or politically conservative in any format.
Ian was a Creative Executive at Groundswell Productions (THIRTEEN, SIDEWAYS, TRUMBO, MILK // SMILF, THE MAGICIANS, CONFIRMATION), Michael London’s company, servicing a first look deal at Lionsgate. At Groundswell he had an active hand in production of FX’s SNOWFALL, Searchlight’s THE GREATEST HITS, and Channel 4 (UK)’s ALICE & JACK as well as development for myriad projects in TV and film on the slate, spanning multiple genres. He has also worked extensively with Jon Silk, formerly at his own imprint (Silk Mass), now Head of Original Film at Netflix. Currently he is New York-based, freelancing on multiple documentary projects focused on the environment and the New York DOE. Skills include script consults, adapting existing IP (especially comics, long form journalism, and novels), and pitch preparation.
Prior to entertainment, he worked as an environmental policy consultant, with an area focus on agriculture and water sustainability in Sub-Saharan Africa and East Asia. He continues this practice through active work with non-profit groups focused on urban forestry and post-disaster reforestation efforts as well as riparian health in New York City’s waterways.

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.
