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!
Questions? Email terra@roadmapwriters.com
Focus on character and be sure to leave 2 to 3 minutes at the end of your pitch for questions and discussion.
Who are you? Why is it important that you were the one telling the story? What is your relation to the material?
FEATURES: Character driven projects that can be shot in Mississippi for $15m or less, Romania and the Mediterranean for $10m to $30m, New Mexico, Georgia, or Oklahoma for $15m or less.
SERIES: For one hour dramas, including limited series, please have a screenplay and a Bible that maps out five seasons of character, arts and story. Focus on character, but clearly explain the world and the rules. For anthology series, please clarify the anthological elements. Is it a new story and characters every episode, or every season…
For limited series please explain why the story needs to be contained to a single season.
Extremely interested in any projects with Choctaw mythology or any south eastern native American elements.
I personally dislike high-concept storytelling. I don’t mind it if it’s got great layered and well developed ,, but in general, I specifically avoid high-concept projects, both as a storyteller and as a producer. I’m not interested in projects where what the characters are is more important than who they are.
Series: No procedurals and no multi-cam sitcoms.
Features: No projects where the dog dies.

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.
