-- 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.

I am very interested in period pieces, bio-pics, and journey films. Road trip films are great. Comedy's are always a plus.
Not interested in sci-fi or romcoms.
