I like a pitch that really understands and can communicate the characters at the heart of it. The plot is nothing without compelling characters. I want to know why this story needs to be told now. I want to know the writer understands where the story is going as opposed to focusing solely on the pilot premise and world-building.
I'm attracted to original voices---writing that reflects the times we live in and the conversations we're having as a society... rather than the general trends the studios mandate. Genre and format matter less to me than the heart of the story and the original point-of-view the writer brings to it.
