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.

Make the person you're pitching to feel like they know you. Don't launch into the sales. Be a person first, a creative second, and a salesperson last.
Underrepresented voices, especially female, native and POC writers with high-concept, contained, low-budget feature scripts with no attachments and smart set pieces.
Projects only for Jason, anything overly violent, pieces that don't have something to say. Always be theme and character-forward.
Paris Herbert-Taylor is an Australian-born, Hong Kong-raised, former Canadian Permanent resident, and current US green card holder. Her first taste of the industry was at the age of five when she starred in an internationally released Lego commercial. She was mainly jazzed about it at the time for the free Legos and wonders to this day where they went. Paris leaned into her global storytelling perspective as she continued creating and pursuing storytelling and producing at The University of Sydney. After graduating college, Paris worked as a Production coordinator on the Australian reality show FRESHWATER BLUE. While living in Toronto, Paris was a community segment producer and on camera reporter for local channel Rogers Television, where she broke hard-hitting stories like: Toronto’s knitting scene, the 2012 cat fashion show, and she interviewed Santa (twice).
Most recently, Paris has been working for Brian Mendoza and Jason Momoa’s company Pride of Gypsies // On the Roam as the sole film and television Executive, building out their development slate. She has produced numerous commercials on the companies behalf, including the 2022 Carhartt ‘Fit for the new frontier’ campaign. She is currently post producing the company's Docu-series show ON THE ROAM.
Paris was a 2021 Nickelodeon Writers Program semi-finalist, and sold her first written feature to Reel One Entertainment in 2022.
