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!
I usually respond first and foremost to characters then allow everything else to fall in to place.
Anything that depicts a burgeoning underdog. One that displays character(s) growth and grit in any genre. I also have an affinity for older characters that refuse to live their life by society’s “expired date” and bad ass female characters. I also really enjoy outspoken Gen Z voices that give us a fresh perspective on varying social issues that have plagued us for centuries.
N/A. Open to EVERYTHING.
Terrell Lawrence grew up in the backwoods of South Carolina. After blatantly being told that he was unfit for an engineering career, he later graduated from the University of South Carolina, leading him to move to LA in pursuit of a writing career. Once in LA, he obtained a job at ICM Partners Talent Agency in the Accounting Department, allowing him to seek all of his dreams and pay half of his bills. While at the agency, he continued to hone his writing chops by overdosing on classes and podcasts. Eventually all of these actions aided in his television staffing. Terrell’s Writing Credits include: YOUR FAMILY OR MINE/TBS, ALONE TOGETHER/Independent Short Film, UNDATEABLELIVE/NBC, BUNK'D/Disney Channel, THE NEIGHBORHOOD/CBS, and currently on the upcoming EVERYBODY STILL HATES CHRIS/Paramount Plus.
