I am particularly interested in high-concept projects with a strong genre and hook. Blockbusters that say something or execute at a high level while satisfying audiences. On the deeper side think: MINORITY REPORT, GET OUT, or THE MATRIX on the fun side think OCEAN'S ELEVEN or CATCH ME IF YOU CAN.
I want projects that sound unique even from the initial pitch and whose specialness is not execution dependent.
