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!
Best pitch tip I can give is K.I.S.S.. Keep It Simple, Silly.
-- Be straightforward and concise about the story you're telling. You should understand your story well enough to tell me about it in a couple of sentences.
The 5 Ws: I know it's fundamental. But know your who what when where and why.
I am very interested in period pieces, bio-pics, and journey films. Road trip films are great. Comedies are always a plus.
Not interested in sci-fi or romcoms.

Exec will read up to 4 scripts in one month (different drafts of the same script or 4 different scripts) and conduct 4x one-hour story notes calls. Calls can also include feedback on your pitch, branding, or career strategy.
If you pay with the deposit/payment plan, your second half will be due the 2nd week of the Mentorship. If you need a different type of payment plan, email dorian@roadmapwriters.com.
