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!
Focus on what it's about and why you want to tell the story, rather than explaining what happens in the entire story.
Distinct projects that have commercial hooks and a clear audiences in mind. Big ideas in small packages are particularly attractive to me, including genre pieces that tell exciting, engaging stories with complex and relatable characters.
period dramas, giant scale original science fiction stories, and highly esoteric subjects are less interesting to me

Jay was very insightful, incredibly helpful, and very generous of his time. A "real person" who told you like it is in the industry. Seemed to have great instincts and a great handle on the market. I couldn't have been happier.
