How you approach the prep work of outlining your script—whether for your first draft or your 10th—can make all the difference when you sit down to face the blinking cursor. No matter how detailed or macro, all outlines must contain the standard structural integrity and character arcs for your particular format and genre. Submit your outline (10 page max) and the executive will conduct a 30-minute notes call to give you and your story ground-level guidance. You'll discuss how to refine set up of the structure, pacing, theme, and character development for your script.

We all (myself included!) have to have a polished professional pitch up our sleeves, but when working with writers I prefer things to be very conversational. I'm not something you have to 'pitch to' outside of a structure pitch session, rather I'm interested in digging in on the story elements and really getting to the heart of things. I find this approach inevitably impacts the way a writer would pitch the project, anyway, so tends to organically lead us to an improved version of their presentational pitch.
My slate is overwhelmingly female-focused both in terms of material and practitioners and that's something I'd like to maintain but it's by no means at the exclusion of other material.
In terms of working with writers and assessing material, the gender bias of my own production slate is totally irrelevant. What I would say is that my strengths lie in emotional/elevated material so particularly when it comes to genre I'd be the most use on projects that are utilising genre to speak to/illuminate a broader issue (e.g. the recent Talk To Me as parable for drug abuse/addiction issues).
