The sweet spot is pure genre films that can be made for under $10 million. Horror, action, Thriller, Sci-fi, Westerns and the typical types of films that have been able to get financed.
I love a strong and clear premise. I want to get excited to read the project just from hearing the idea.
Pure drama.
