This session format is available only to writers in our Top Tier Program.
Exec will read the first 15 pages of your script and conduct a 20-min. general meeting with you via Zoom.
In my experience, the key to a good pitch is to relax and think of it as telling your friends about the best movie you just walked out of. Don't worry about every detail or getting too into the weeds. It's about what you feel and want them to feel.
My goal is to help writers become the best version of themselves. In addition to navigating Hollywood as a writer and producer, I've worked in development and screenplay coverage, so I have a lot of experience helping writers unlock their scripts' full potential. In terms of genre, I'm pretty agnostic. I'm most interested in the story you want to tell and why you want to tell it. I like strong characters, scripts with something to say, and unique, hungry voices ready to level up.
I love TV, but most of my professional experience has been in film, so I'm primarily looking for feature screenplays.
