Make it concise focusing on characters and their development throughout the pilot/series/feature. Convey a comprehensive overview of the world and the plot you have created. but don't get bogged down in the details. Convey the world and the characters to make me/us fall in love with them. Don't make it feel like a presentation, you are trying to persuade me (the hypothetical/potential buyer) with emotions to spend money from my budget on your idea.
Top Tier - We're interested in ongoing genre series, so that includes everything from horror to thriller to crime/true crime to grounded sci-fi to dystopian/post-apocalyptic to action to YA. We are not looking for anything that is overly dark or dreary.
Consultations - All of the above and in addition, I personally also like fantasy, drama, romcoms, period pieces, dramedies, comedies, animation, etc. My top favs are sci-fi, fantasy, horror, historical/period pieces, action/adventure, YA/coming-of-age, superhero (comic/graphic novel adaptations included), and irreverent, satirical, alternative, black, or genre comedy. I like reading both TV and features.
