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!
I have walked out of pitches thinking I nailed it and then never heard a peep again from the company. I have trudged out of pitches and driven straight to Baskin Robbins for an ice cream sulk -- and then got a call back because they loved it.
I even went into a pitch and talked for an hour about one particular series and then made a random joke on the way out the door that ended up to be the series that I wrote and produced for Hulu. Point is -- every pitch is different. All you can do is be as prepared as you can with compelling characters in a fun and interesting world.
I have no preference between TV series or feature. I love storytelling. I love characters. Plain and simple.
I am a sucker for a good John Hughesian YA comedy or romcom.
But I also love anything for the entire family. Be it action, comedy or adventure.
That doesn't mean I only like family friendly -- cause I am so down for a great R-rated road trip or buddy-movie.

In the last five years, Jason Ubaldi created, wrote, and show-ran two series that have been released and are currently streaming. The Emmy-nominated eight-episode YA dramedy, YOUTH & CONSEQUENCES produced by the Mark Gordon Company. And the ten-episode comedy ALL NIGHT for Hulu. In 2020, he sold a family action feature to Disney+ and wrote a series for Snapchat Originals. Most recently, he sold a family action feature to Lions Forge and just a few months ago, his HBOMax (now Max) pilot WILD LIFE was shot in New Mexico.
“(YOUTH & CONSEQUENCES) will definitely give you some major Mean Girls vibes. Viewers are in for one thrilling ride.” — Teen Vogue
“If you’ve ever wistfully wondered whether anyone will make a John Hughes movie again, this should cheer you up: Someone has. He’s Jason Ubaldi, and the movie is disguised as a 10-episode sitcom called ALL NIGHT, which rolls out on Hulu.” — TV Worth Watching
