Love great conceptual hooks that are different than things we've seen in the past. From there, love a really unique character and perspective.
Always interested in really great high concept genre -- horror, thriller, sci-fi, action, etc. Also always love things that don't fit in the box and are really bold and weird and great samples.
Not really into period, historical, or anything too far in the past.
