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!
While I have experience overseeing both on-air comedies and dramas, my expertise lies in shepherding comedies of all types. On the drama side, I’m most interested in character driven pieces that might have some humor but also happy to read action, suspense, thriller. Open to reading scripts for broadcast, cable or streaming and anything with a unique point of view.
Animation, horror, fantasy or science fiction.
