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!
I am very eclectic and versatile when it comes to my taste. When I first moved to LA, my dream was to work on YA shows like The CW's PRETTY LITTLE LIARS or Ryan Murphy's GLEE. As I grew older, I really started gravitating towards auteur-driven independent movies, in particular writer-directors with a unique voice across genres (Alex Garland, Sarah Polley, Zal Batmanglij and Brit Marling, Andrew Haigh). In my career as an executive and a producer, I got to work on high-concept sci-fi and thrillers. I love a writer with a singular voice, and with something to say.
