A compelling hook gets my attention, but distinctive characters, emotional stakes, and a fresh point of view are what make a project stand out.
On the film side, we're looking for low- to mid-budget, entertainment-first, elevated commercial fare with international appeal and franchise potential. Adult actioners, globe-trotting thrillers, grounded genre, and four-quadrant family adventures set in the present day. We're also open to tweeners and genre-benders.
On the television side, we gravitate toward ongoing formats with the potential to travel internationally: premium procedurals, propulsive action thrillers, populist stories set outside traditional coastal worlds, and character-first family soaps with sky-high stakes.
Period pieces, straight comedy, traditional drama or dramedy, and isolated space-set stories. We're generally less interested in overtly political or relentlessly bleak material. On the film side, we tend to favor projects with completed scripts.

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 by Roadmap, 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.
