Relax, be yourself, be engaging, and really know your material. Not only are we looking for great projects but we're also looking for people we want to be in a relationship and work with for a short to long term period. Even if the project isn't quite right having a nice and friendly demeanor will keep the doors open for further communication and consideration on additional projects.
For the project itself, I think character development is one of the most important aspects of the story. The audience needs to know and understand who they are watching and why to create a foundation for empathy, relation or disdain.
Typically I work with a lot of drama, coming of age, and period or biographical pieces, but I'd love to lean more into shorts, dark-comedy, thriller, and high-concept projects. Stories that are written by POC, are female-driven, and/or center POC is always a high priority for me as well.
Sci Fi, and stories that focus on Black trauma in conjunction with police brutality, civil rights, and slavery.
