Particularly Interested In

I am drawn to high concept, commercial projects in both the film and TV space. I really like character driven stories across all genres and formats. I am especially interested in reading grounded action, sci-fi, and crime for both features and TV (HEAT; ARRIVAL; TOKYO VICE; MIND HUNTER; SHOGUN.)

I am also interested in true stories (EVEREST; SOCIETY OF THE SNOW; FORD V FERRARI) and stories that could be true (THE MARTIAN; HELL OR HIGH WATER.) I would love to read female driven projects (ATOMIC BLONDE; SICARIO; EX MACHINA) and projects that are diverse in an authentic way as well as adaptations from books, graphic novels, or articles.

I'm also a big fan of genre fare (PACIFIC RIM; DUNE; MAD MAX; JURASSIC PARK; FURY.) Sports stories, especially true ones or ones that could be true are also something I'm interested in reading.

If you have a project that can balance being both good and commercial and it has characters with depth and complexity, then I would like to read it.

How it Works

After registering, you will receive instructions on how to submit your material in your order confirmation email. After submitting your material, please allow at least 3-4 weeks to receive proposed times for scheduling your call with the exec.

**Please note half-hour pilot consultation material is limited to 37 pages maximum

Be sure to familiarize yourself with Roadmap's Code of Conduct.

Questions? Email terra@roadmapwriters.com!

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.
