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!
Character, character, character. Who is this person and why should I care? If I don't immediately know a positive, negative and dream characteristic about this protagonist, then I'm not going to be interested on their journey.
However, that being said, the main thing that I often tell clients is: What and where is the story? Don't waffle - I should be able to pick out ~where~ the story is and where it's going: that's all the matters!
Particularly interested in female-centered and Asian-American centered stories!
Through my company, I am not at liberty to produce unsolicited scripts without going through an agent, but I am more than happy to give you script and producer notes and help you with career tips and how to get signed by an agent!
