The exec of your choice will read either the first 25 pages of 4 scripts, 33 pages of 3 scripts, or the first 50 pages of 2 scripts. You'll also submit a one-pager of loglines (to include Title, Format, Genre, and Comps with each logline) for their review. Then you'll have a one-hour call with the exec to get their notes and feedback on your portfolio as a whole, as well as receive marketing and career advice. Be prepared to ask guiding questions!

I’m open to all genres but have a particular passion for elevated, character-driven material with a strong visual identity and international scope. I’m especially interested in stories that are emotionally complex, thematically rich and stylistically distinct. Current areas of focus include:
-- Psychological thrillers and neo-noir with a refined, suspenseful edge e.g., RIPLEY, WATCHER, DEEP WATER and HOLY SPIDER.
-- Emotionally grounded thrillers with a strong sense of place and moral ambiguity e.g., WIND RIVER, THE CONSTANT GARDENER and A PROPHET.
-- Darkly comic or satirical dramas that dissect identity, class, or power e.g., THE WHITE LOTUS and FARGO.
-- Sleek, moody crime thrillers e.g., DRIVE, COLD IN JULY and BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU’RE DEAD.
-- Horror with psychological or sociopolitical undercurrents e.g., TRAFFIK, THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, THE VISIT and BARBARIAN.
-- True stories or inspired-by concepts that Trojan-horse a deeper perspective into a compelling, commercial package e.g., THE SERPENT, FOXCATCHER and UNDER THE BRIDGE.
-- Stories infused with magical realism, from the poetic to the surreal e.g., BIRDMAN, BLACK SWAN, TWIN PEAKS and PAN’S LABYRINTH.
Above all, I’m drawn to smart, atmospheric work that’s emotionally layered and grounded in humanity.
