This session format is available only to writers in our Top Tier Program.
Exec will read your 30 pages from each of 2 scripts or 20 pages from each of 3 scripts and meet with the writer via zoom for 30 mins to get to know the writer and their portfolio
Make sure that your pitch is easily pitched by others. One pitch is not how many it will take to get a script sold and then made. (And certainly not one elevator pitch.) It's more like 1000 pitches made by 50 people.
Feature films and TV shows with multiple episodes already fleshed out are always at the top of my list.
Not interested in autobiographies.
Karin Cohen got her start in the film business working for legendary producer Edward R. Pressman (WALL STREET, REVERSAL OF FORTUNE, BADLANDS), where Ed brought her in on creative sessions for AMERICAN PSYCHO, THE CROW: SALVATION, and ENDURANCE. Following that, she was part of the 4-person creative team that helped grow Summit Entertainment (now owned by Lionsgate) from a prestigious international sales company into a mini-major studio.
Karin’s job at Summit was twofold. She supervised the daily operation of the creative department, which processed over 1,000 pitch and screenplay submissions per year, and she oversaw the development and acquisition of feature films. Projects Karin worked on include MR. & MRS. SMITH, MEMENTO, AMERICAN PIE, CRUEL INTENTIONS, THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, and WRONG TURN, Summit’s first franchise.
Eventually, Karin left the studio side of the business to oversee creative development for several critically acclaimed international filmmakers. She worked alongside them to develop their original feature film and TV concepts from ideation through post-production and served as a liaison between filmmakers, studios, and agencies, representing filmmakers’ creative interests in negotiations. The filmmakers Karin worked with won 173 awards and have another 170 nominations between them, including Academy, BAFTA, and Palme d'Or. Known for her ability to “unlock a script,” Karin has been called a “secret weapon” for writer/directors.
