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.
Pitching is performing and naturalism is key. Remember to answer the big "Whys" of sales: Why you? Why now? Why anything?
Small budget genre films -- horror, crime, thriller -- with a comedic bent. Also looking for comedy pilots/sitcoms with unique stories or voices a la Reservoir Dogs or English Teacher. I would love to find the next Fargo!
