Work one-on-one with an executive at mutually agreed upon times around your schedule. To start, you'll have a 15-minute strategy call with your executive to get the lay of the land for the month. Then, you’ll have email access to your executive throughout, plus four one-hour story notes sessions. Work on a single screenplay or multiple scripts plus get additional notes on your pitch, brand strategy, and career advice - work your mentorship to its fullest potential!
At Futurific we are focused on protopian content - so telling stories that imagine better futures and world's we'd want to live in. We often take on grounded genre projects, but are open to all genres within this scope. I am particularly interested in promoting underrepresented voices and unique perspectives, especially female-driven projects.

She is a conceptual and creative thinker with a passion for storytelling who excels at story development. Sarah champions predominantly diverse, female forward and comedic stories. She currently oversees development across film, tv, unscripted and graphic novels at Futurific.
Sarah gave me incredible notes on my pilot. She was patient, open, and generous beyond belief! Overall, she was open to giving 'the note behind the note' (both kind and also straight to the point, no BS, which I love). Sarah was also willing to brainstorm with me in a fun, collaborative way. I highly recommend her.

Truly exceptional. As a result of my one hour consultation with Sarah, I discovered a way to powerfully restructure my first 15 pages in a way that I hadn't found before. Her notes were instructive and insightful, and she was also an incredible listener and a generous conversationalist. She helped me explore and identify numerous ways I could better accomplish my script goals while at the same time making me feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged in the process. Her influence on my work was invaluable and she will be without question the first person I turn to for a script consultation in the future.
