Intellectual Property (IP) for Film/TV Development

Particularly Interested In

Right now, I’m really drawn to projects that take bold creative swings—stories with rich world-building, a strong point of view, and a unique sense of tone. I gravitate toward writers who blend mystery, tension, or satire with sharp character work and thematic depth. Anything that feels both elevated and unexpected tends to catch my eye.

Specifically Not Interested In

I’m not drawn to message-driven pieces that hit the audience over the head with the moral. I respond much more to stories that handle their themes with subtlety and trust the viewer to engage with complexity. I’m always looking for nuance over agenda.
