Right now, I'm particularly interested in fish-out-of-water stories with tight narrative engines, commercially viable concepts, and a strong, unique point of view. I’m drawn to character-driven stories that offer emotional depth while still delivering on big, bold ideas—especially those that challenge perspective, subvert genre expectations, or offer fresh takes on familiar setups.
Projects that go overlong. Pilots that don't meet standard formats: Comedy/half hours that exceed 36 pages, hour longs that exceed 65 pages, and features that exceed 111 pages.
