For me, it all comes down to the characters and their journeys: who they are at fade in, who they are at fade out, and how they get there. There are different ways to get this across, each of which must of course be in balance with plot, structure, worldbuilding, tone, etc., so that one can visualize the project without losing track of the emotions carrying me through the story.
As a producer, I am most interested in emotionally grounded, character-driven genre stories for series and feature: sci-fi, climate fiction, supernatural, etc. These can be dramatic or comedic, heavy or light on their feet: STATION ELEVEN and WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS are good comps, as are SILO, ARCANE, SCAVENGERS REIGN, Mike Flanagan's series, Jordan Peele's films — even something as experimental as NEPTUNE FROST. The one thing I am not looking for is bleak — no THE LAST OF US. I am really interested in helping writers find their voice and projects find their fullest expression.
Not looking for network-style, multi-cam comedy, nor YA.

Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your registration for a refund or Roadmap gift card if you have not yet submitted your material for review. However, once your material has been received by Roadmap, your registration cannot be canceled. Having revised material or a desire to retroactively apply a discount or gift card code are not grounds for cancellation, refunds, or gift card credit. Once your material has been submitted, the only acceptable grounds for cancellation and a refund or gift card credit is an unforeseen, ongoing emergency on the part of either the writer or the exec resulting in more than 6 weeks without any scheduling update from the exec via direct contact or Roadmap, or a sudden change in the exec's ongoing availability. In the instance of an irreconcilable scheduling issue, the writer may still receive a written feedback report from the exec. In this case, the writer is not entitled to a refund or gift card credit as the exec has read the submitted material and provided written feedback in lieu of the call.
