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!
Keep it light on granular detail and focus instead on the framing elements of the story. Have a think about what journey the characters are on and what that journey will mean to both the characters and the audience by the end.
Shows which depict interesting and unique relationships and communities/worlds I've not seen on the screen before! I also love stories which update classic genres for contemporary audiences.
