I tend to be most attracted to character driven pitches that have a thematic relevance to social issues. I want to see pitches that entertain, absolutely, but also that are about something important. Characters are truly what makes a series or film worth watching!
I'm extremely interested in one hour dramas highlighting the LGBTAIQ+ or the Latinx experience. I am also interested in anything horror, sci-fi or fantasy related (especially if it features a diverse voice).
