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!
Just make me love your story as much as you do, and if you don't snag me right out the gate, that would be where we would start looking to adjust your material.
I'm always interested in Playwrights. At the moment I work mostly toward producing 1/2 hour Multicam and single cam shows, but I'm always on the lookout for a good one-hour drama, or film script.
I mostly say yes before I say no. There's no reason to shut the door on something before you know what it is. Magic is created in the least likely settings.
Katayoun Amini Marciano grew up in Tehran, Iran, migrating to the United States as a teenager. She studied at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco, eventually ending up in Los Angeles under the tutelage of Hubert Selby Jr. (LAST EXIT TO BROOKLYN) and Jim Krusoe (ICELAND). Early on, she wrote her first screenplay, NEEDLES,
developed at IFP. Then went on to staff on the CBS morning cartoon MYTHIC WARRIORS, the Fox Family show THE ZACK FILES, and the HBO show MIND OF THE MARRIED MAN with Mike Binder. Her development slate includes TV pilots/series such as SCALP HUNTERS for Maysville Television and Y-SOCIETY for Imprint Entertainment. She has produced the independent feature 3...2...1...FRANKIE GO BOOM, and has written and adapted several films, most notably MAX PAYNE. In the last three years, Kat moved more into her producing/development role, running a comedy pod at NBC/Universal TV. But her primary home is in Jersey City, NJ, where her neurodivergent son, the youngest of her three kids, lives.
