Work one-on-one with an executive at mutually agreed upon times around your schedule. To start, you'll have a 15-minute strategy call with your executive to get the lay of the land for the month. Then, you’ll have email access to your executive throughout, plus four one-hour story notes sessions. Work on a single screenplay or multiple scripts plus get additional notes on your pitch, brand strategy, and career advice - work your mentorship to its fullest potential!
If features - what is the voice behind the material? Plot has to be concise and only the "must haves". Don't worry about filling the minutia in.
If tv - story engine has to be top notch. Only established show runners can get away with a weak story engine.
Knowledge is key in this industry. I'm interested in helping writers who are looking to level up creatively and within their place in the business.
After graduating from the Radio-Television-Film program at The University of Texas at Austin, Adrian began his career as an intern at Culture Creative Entertainment, where he quickly advanced to Executive Assistant, Literary Coordinator, and eventually Agent. During his time at the agency, he helped develop its well-regarded internship program, built strong relationships with executives and creative talent across the industry, and developed a deep passion for discovering and championing storytellers.
Driven by a desire to work more closely with talent and their material, Adrian transitioned from the agency world to management at Yak Yak MGMT. Over the next several years, he worked closely with writers and directors to develop their careers, creative voices, and industry relationships, while helping them navigate the business of entertainment. His experience across representation and management has given him a broad perspective on both the creative and business sides of the industry, with a particular interest in building careers, developing ideas, and connecting great storytellers with the right opportunities.

Before starting your Month Mentorship, please ensure you are familiar with our Code of Conduct.
Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your registration for a refund or Roadmap gift card if you have not yet submitted your material for review. However, once your material has been received, your registration cannot be canceled. Having revised material or a desire to retroactively apply a discount or gift card code are not grounds for cancellation, refunds, or gift card credit. Once your material has been submitted, the only acceptable grounds for cancellation and a refund or gift card credit is an unforeseen, ongoing emergency on the part of either the writer or the exec resulting in more than 6 weeks without any scheduling update from the exec via direct contact or Roadmap, or a sudden change in the exec's ongoing availability. In the instance of an irreconcilable scheduling issue, the writer may still receive a written feedback report from the exec. In this case, the writer is not entitled to a refund or gift card credit as the exec has read the submitted material and provided written feedback in lieu of the call.
