Relax! Let's talk this through. Give me the short version, then let's peel those layers back.
Edgy stories for streamers, anything with a distinct voice, anti-heroes, fun/funny characters, and stories about good people who do bad things for complicated reasons.

Joe Nelms is an award-winning screenwriter, playwright, novelist, and producer. His film and TV credits include the Sundance Drama Finalist BETWEEN (Producer), the cult classic SHRIEK IF YOU KNOW WHAT I DID LAST FRIDAY THE 13TH (Co-Writer), THE LOST EPISODE (Co-Writer, Producer), and NBC’s LIVE ON TAPE (Executive Producer). Additionally, he is the author of the novels THE LAST TIME I DIED and FORMERLY FINGERMAN (both Simon & Schuster).
As Vice President of Advertising at Warner Bros. Films, he helped market movies that grossed billions including HARRY POTTER, THE MATRIX series, and the OCEAN’S 11 series. Later, Joe founded Tilted Creative, an advertising agency dedicated to crafting promotional partnerships between major brands (Sony, Mercedes, Heineken, etc.) and TV series (SONS OF ANARCHY, JUSTIFIED, AMERICAN HORROR STORY). He is the founder and creative director of Great Big Stuff, a boutique design agency dedicated to creating key art for early-stage productions. Joe is also the former horoscope writer for the Psychic Hotline. Seriously.
His current and upcoming projects include the biopics DRILLMAN and BURNING HOUSE, and an adaptation of THE LAST TIME I DIED.
His feedback and encouragement is extremely helpful. He has a kind and patient demeanor. This was my first time pitching with an exec I had never met before (on my own, not in an online class setting). I felt like he was on my side from the beginning and wanted me to do well on this pitch. I'm implementing his suggestions into the pitch now.

Joe was very easy to talk to and gave helpful feedback that I can incorporate in future pitches.
