More about Rena Sapon-White

Her early work included directing the Nagle Award-winning feature documentary PARADISUS, as well as collaborations with renowned documentary producer-directors Linda Goldstein Knowlton and Alysa Nahmias. At Tadmor Entertainment, she expanded her scope, developing scripts and serving as Associate Producer for festival darlings SUMMER ‘03 (starring Joey King, SXSW 2018) and ONLY (starring Leslie Odom, Jr., Tribeca 2019), and collaborating on the adaptation of Michael Pollan’s "The Omnivore’s Dilemma" with Frances McDormand.

Testimonials

Rena came to the session with detailed notes and relevant comments about my outline. She suggested improvements and how to proceed with a rewrite. After the session, she emailed me a copy of her TV Christmas Rom-Com structure. The session was a worthwhile investment. I am in the process of rewriting my outline.

How it Works

Private Month Mentorship

Each month mentorship kicks off with a preliminary 15-min. call to set expectations and lay out strategy for the month. Writer will have email access to the executive plus 4x one-hour consultations with the exec. Exec will read up to 4 scripts in one month (different drafts of the same script or 4 different scripts) and conduct 4x one-hour story notes calls. Calls can also include feedback on your pitch, branding, or career strategy.

If you pay with the deposit/payment plan, your second half will be due the 2nd week of the Mentorship. If you need a different type of payment plan, email dorian@roadmapwriters.com. 

**Please note feature screenplays are limited to 120 pages maximum. Please contact terra@roadmapwriters.com for pricing on a Month Mentorship on screenplays exceeding 120 pages.

What To Expect

After registering, you will receive an automatic Order Confirmation email. Then Roadmap's Director of Consultations, Terra Joy, will get your mentor looped in with you! If you do not hear from Terra or the exec within 3 days of registering, feel free to email terra@roadmapwriters.com for an update.
