The exec of your choice will read either the first 25 pages of 4 scripts, 33 pages of 3 scripts, or the first 50 pages of 2 scripts. You'll also submit a one-pager of loglines (to include Title, Format, Genre, and Comps with each logline) for their review. Then you'll have a one-hour call with the exec to get their notes and feedback on your portfolio as a whole, as well as receive marketing and career advice. Be prepared to ask guiding questions!

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!

Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your registration for a refund or Roadmap gift card if you have not yet submitted your material for review. However, once your material has been received by Roadmap, your registration cannot be canceled. Having revised material or a desire to retroactively apply a discount or gift card code are not grounds for cancellation, refunds, or gift card credit. Once your material has been submitted, the only acceptable grounds for cancellation and a refund or gift card credit is an unforeseen, ongoing emergency on the part of either the writer or the exec resulting in more than 6 weeks without any scheduling update from the exec via direct contact or Roadmap, or a sudden change in the exec's ongoing availability. In the instance of an irreconcilable scheduling issue, the writer may still receive a written feedback report from the exec. In this case, the writer is not entitled to a refund or gift card credit as the exec has read the submitted material and provided written feedback in lieu of the call.
