How you approach the prep work of outlining your script—whether for your first draft or your 10th—can make all the difference when you sit down to face the blinking cursor. No matter how detailed or macro, all outlines must contain the standard structural integrity and character arcs for your particular format and genre. Submit your outline (10 page max) and the executive will conduct a 30-minute notes call to give you and your story ground-level guidance. You'll discuss how to refine set up of the structure, pacing, theme, and character development for your script.

I love clear & concise pitches! Character and theme are extremely important to me. Why should an audience invest 90-120 minutes with these characters, and what do you want them to walk away from the movie/show with? Setting up the world and the rules within it are very important as well. I should be able to walk away from the pitch with a clear understanding of character, plot, structure, genre, and the theme.
Excited about all genres that are listed. However, I am a huge fan of high-concept genre movies that transport audiences into a world different from theirs (e.g. it can be something that literally takes us to a new world/specific location or something that dives into a specific world such as mafia life like in THE GODFATHER). I always love to read projects that put underrepresented audiences in genre spaces we typically don’t see them in, such as Black Sci-fi or female driven action.
In terms of television, I truly have varied taste. I primarily want to focus on projects that are geared towards hour-long shows meant for streaming, but genuinely get excited by all the genres I have checked off.
I am not a huge fan of broad comedies (in features and television) and small indie drama features.
