Particularly Interested In

Comedy and genre. Anything with a high concept hook is great both for personal interest and marketplace reasons. Character tends to be king in the comedy space, but for me, funny always wins, no matter what form, and regardless of format (feature, single cam, multi cam, and beyond).
