Pitch Tips

Character is always king, and so is your pilot (in TV)! Don't get bogged down in endless plot details and boxes that need to be checked for your third season. Focus on the actual STORY and who's inside of it.

As much as I objectively appreciate them as genres, fantasy and romantic comedies just aren't my bag -- at least not in a way where I can be helpful as a note giver.

More about Max Cunningham

Max Cunningham currently works as a Writers’ Assistant on the show TULSA KING. Prior to that, he spent four years at Berlanti Productions, a company whose credits include YOU, THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT, RIVERDALE, ALL AMERICAN, THE FLASH, and SUPERMAN AND LOIS. Max first worked for their head of television development, Ryan Lindenberg, learning the ins and outs of how a television series actually moves from an early-stage pitch to a finished pilot in both broadcast and streaming. After being promoted to Greg Berlanti’s desk, Max was offered the chance to write an episode of SUPERMAN & LOIS. This led to a chance to work on the show as their Writers’ Assistant for their next two seasons, where he also was able to write two more scripts for the show, before transitioning to TULSA KING.

Max graduated with honors from the University of Arizona, with a degree in English Literature and a minor in Film & Television.

Testimonials

As a fan of Berlanti Productions, I was initially nervous, but Max's polite and friendly nature really put me at ease. He is highly insightful, especially when it comes to storytelling and was able to offer notes that turned my story from being just a great script into something that could possibly be a very exciting TV show. I would certainly work with him again.

~ Rachel Attwood, Screenwriter

Max's feedback pushed our feature in an exciting direction! Well worth the cost of the program!

~ Stella Ruggiero, Screenwriter

I've been revising my script for 2 years and was not looking forward to another round of notes from yet another person. But Max really impressed me. He didn’t suggest huge story changes to cater to his taste, instead, he offered specific revisions to strengthen what was already there. This is a rare ability. Max also gives notes in a supportive and collaborative way, yet always respectful that the story is mine. I’ll definitely use him when fine-tuning my next script.

~ Stephanie Bast, Screenwriter

MARKETING BONUS! If you receive a rating of Excellent or Virtually Flawless in at least four out of five categories (Logline and Formatting/Ease of Reading are excluded) on your consultation feedback report, we'll do one round of personalized marketing to execs (up to 5) for this screenplay for free!

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.
