Roadmap Writers is proud to launch a new LGBTQ+ Pitch Series dedicated to elevating queer voices in film and television. The initiative will give LGBTQ+ creatives the opportunity to submit a three-minute recorded pitch, a one-page personal essay, and the first 25 pages of their script to be considered for exclusive pitch roundtables with queer executives during the final week of June. The goal of the program is to create meaningful access for queer storytellers while connecting them directly with queer industry professionals.
