I am currently interested in thrillers and comedies. My passion is for story, including meaning, so even on a genre project, I am looking for that deeper story that will glue audiences to their seats.
I am looking for commercial projects that have high artistic ambitions, think genre films that can play at Sundance/Tribeca/SXSW etc.
Pure horror, or bodily horror, musicals. Not so interested in zombies for the sake of zombies.

Annika is an absolute joy to speak with. Her suggestions will be applied to the screenplay without question. If I had to rate this experience, on a scale of 1 to 10, it would be a 10 all day long. Excellent work by all.

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.
