Need some extra guidance on your pitch? Wanting some one-on-one with an exec to get your pitch really polished? You know the importance of a strong pitch, but so many factors go into making it resonate, and it always requires more practice than you think. In your private 30-minute call with the exec, you'll get tailored guidance to prepare you for your best delivery yet. Submit your 1-2 page written pitch for the exec's prior review, and you'll begin the call by giving your 5-7 minute verbal pitch. You’ll then discuss delivery, clarity, structure, characterization, pacing, the opening of your pitch, and how best to end.

Set the stage early on what sandbox you're playing in.
I have also worked in representation as an assistant, then in television as an assistant, and read for staffing so I can offer early career advice navigation on managing reps and climbing up the ladder. I have sold more than I staffed so I have a speciality selling, especially as someone who is mid-career.
A child of Vietnam War immigrants, Jeane is Vietnamese-Chinese. She was raised Buddhist in the San Gabriel Valley with stints in Orange County and a Mormon town in Nevada. Growing up, she developed a sweet tooth as a child working at her parents’ bakery. She grew up on a steady diet of Asian folklore, Sailor Moon, and weekly comic books. After interning in politics, getting certified as a First Responder, and a stint working at an oncology lab, she was on a pre-law public healthcare path. But this work convinced her to live by her favorite Han Solo line "Never tell me the odds" and dive into her real passion: Hollywood.
Jeane is a published author, journalist, and podcaster. Jeane has sold numerous pilots, a feature, and has experience producing television from prep to post. She staffed on Freemantle's SANDOKAN and consulted for Freeform's pilot AZNBBYGRL. She’s currently part of Rideback Circle and is a WGA Captain. Jeane has worked in different genres but her writing skews a tongue in cheek POV and dry wit. Jeane also has experience on the other side of the development in indie filmmaking at Uncommon Voices Collective. She loves character studies, love triangles, and big worlds. When not writing, Jeane is a cat mom to Gabby Soprano and a breakfast burrito sommelier.

Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your registration for a refund or Roadmap gift card if you have not yet submitted your material for review. However, once your material has been received by Roadmap, your registration cannot be canceled. Having revised material or a desire to retroactively apply a discount or gift card code are not grounds for cancellation, refunds, or gift card credit. Once your material has been submitted, the only acceptable grounds for cancellation and a refund or gift card credit is an unforeseen, ongoing emergency on the part of either the writer or the exec resulting in more than 6 weeks without any scheduling update from the exec via direct contact or Roadmap, or a sudden change in the exec's ongoing availability. In the instance of an irreconcilable scheduling issue, the writer may still receive a written feedback report from the exec. In this case, the writer is not entitled to a refund or gift card credit as the exec has read the submitted material and provided written feedback in lieu of the call.
