Orientation
Join Roadmap CEO Joey Tuccio for an overview of the program. We'll hear from writers who have been through the Career Writer Program on their experience and advice for you to make the most of your week of programs!
Joey started in the industry at Bold Films (DRIVE, NIGHTCRAWLER, WHIPLASH) and has read for Hugh Jackman's company, George Clooney's company, and Night and Day Pictures, to name a few. The only thing Joey is more passionate about than helping writers is rescuing dogs.
Verbal Pitch Prep Lecture
This lecture and Q&A will cover:
- The general structure of a pitch
- Honing in on the basic goals of pitching
- Tips on holding an exec's attention during your pitch
- And you'll hear an example verbal pitch to get you off on the right foot!
Logline & Comps Clinic
Join Dorian to learn a formula for composing a logline for any project. Plus, she'll demystify "comps" and how to find the right ones for your project. Following the lecture, 2-3 volunteers will workshop their logline & comps live.
Dorian was fresh off working for producer Mark Ciardi (THE ROOKIE, MIRACLE, CHAPPAQUIDDICK) when she co-founded Roadmap Writers as its COO. With years of experience in talent management, live events, and feature film producing, Dorian is also a proud Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Guinea/Mali '08-'10). When she's not helping writers perfect their pitches, Dorian can be found at music festivals and karaoke bars.
Opening Pages / Writer Bio / Marketing Yourself
Join Joey for the final session covering making your opening pages pop, crafting a killer bio, and best practices when you're ready to market your material.
