This session format is available only to writers in our Top Tier Program.
Exec will read your full script and and meet with the writer via zoom for 30 mins to get to know the writer and their portfolio
I'd like to help the writer clarify to self what they want to say with their script, and guide them to being able to sum up the story in a few, precise words. This can be a crucial beacon that guides the impact of a pitch and tightness of a script. Also, I'd like to see how much urgency is in the writer's voice. Being able to convey the urgency of the project will always stand out.
Features and shorts (independent cinema) are ideal, but also writers of long form and short form manuscripts too. My experience is mostly in nurturing one's creativity as well as character development, plotting, and the screenplay form.
