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!
Try to relax and have fun - we are after all working in the industry of make believe! Unfortunately everyone (especially execs) have dwindling attention spans so please be concise and get to the meat/hook of your pitch quickly!! Flag comparable titles, delve into the plot/twists of your story, and most importantly, explain why we should care about your character(s).
Film: horror, especially supernatural and/or slasher horror, broad comedies, thrillers, erotic thrillers, mysteries, action
TV: horror, YA, half hour comedies, ensemble family dramas (YELLOWSTONE, PARENTHOOD)
Musicals, anything heavy on politics, or projects that are too grim/depressing.
