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!
Animation and family scripts. Fun kid-coms, sitcoms that would work on Nick, Disney+ and Netflix. Animated features. Also like fun, scary ghost stories with compelling characters as interesting as the ghost stories themselves. Genre dramas are fine, especially in the fantasy or Sci-Fi space. Also interested in small, low-budget projects that can have some kind of prestige.
I like drama but I don't feel equipped to review heavy drams. Nothing like MARE OF EASTTOWN. Great show, but I'm not an expert on this genre.
