What to Expect
It's important for every writer to have a solid script AND to show executives that they are collaborative and professional to work with. Limited to only 5 writers, these 2-week Rewrite Clinics are designed to give writers an opportunity to develop a solid script and collaborate with an industry professional.
The executive will read your script and meet with you one-on-one for 25 minutes. You'll receive notes from your executive, get to know them, and let them get to know you!
Then you will have a week between sessions to revise your pages and in the second roundtable, you'll have another 25-minute meeting to talk about the submitted revisions.
Joining Sessions
Rewrite Clinics meet online via virtual classroom utilizing video conferencing software ZOOM.

We love genre benders and blenders. We prefer the hard WASH genre features (Western, Action, Suspense, Horror) - or if not one of these, then hybridized with one of these.
Television is trickier for our company than features - features make up 80% of our slate, TV makes up about 20%. Our strongest network is in independent genre features.
We focus heavily in the genre film space which is where our network is strongest, making Television something we pick up significantly less of.
Generally, if we are looking at TV it is a streamium or premium cable show with an anti-hero protagonist existing on the fringes of the genre space or of a uniquely detailed world.
