YOU MUST SUBMIT YOUR MATERIAL BEFORE 11:59PM PST ON FRIDAY MARCH 29th. Submit one full feature and some loglines for something that you feel could be a movie-for-TV piece, and receive an in-depth, in-person, one-hour private story notes meeting. You’ll receive specific suggestions on how to elevate your craft and prepare your piece for the TV movie space. If it is agreed upon that the submitted script is ready to recommend to execs, Roadmap will send 5-10 marketing emails for the project, for free.
Joey is interested in reading bold + exciting fresh voices. Any genre is fine, as long as it has a different lens into the story. As the connector between writers and execs for Roadmap, Joey is always vetting writers/scripts that can stand apart from other submissions. This also includes stories set in different parts of the world.
When submitting your script for this, please also send your bio and other loglines (with tonal comps and formats) so Joey can review your portfolio and marketing strategy.
If after the session, Joey and the writer feel the script is ready to market, Joey will discuss the companies he can reach out to on the writer's behalf. If the script needs more work, the writer and Joey will raincheck marketing until the script is ready for market.
Joey started in the industry at Bold Films (DRIVE, NIGHTCRAWLER, WHIPLASH) and has read for Hugh Jackman's company, George Clooney's company, and Night and Day Pictures, to name a few. Experiencing how hard it was for writers to receive real tangible advice on how to break into the industry, Joey and Dorian created Roadmap Writers over 7 years ago. At Roadmap, Joey focuses on connecting vetted writers with execs in the industry. He has helped hundreds of writers connect to their representation, get staffed and get produced. He also mentors for Cinestory and The Writers Lab. When he's not helping writers, he spends his time rescuing animals in need.
