This session format is available only to writers in our Top Tier Program.
This session includes 2 x 30 minute Zoom meetings.
In the first meeting, the exec will review the feature script OR pilot and bible (if provided) and meet with the writer via Zoom for 30 minutes to provide rewrite notes.
The writer will rewrite their script with the markup switch on and send it back to the exec to read and then meet with the exec via Zoom for a second 30 minutes to receive further feedback on their script.
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.
