Brian's life has been fueled by his profound passion for storytelling and its profound impact on our lives. This fervor has remained unwavering throughout his extensive career spanning various sectors of the industry, encompassing production, representation, and development across diverse genres and platforms.
During his tenure at Silver Pictures and Dark Castle Entertainment, Brian provided valuable insights on drafts and daily productions for major projects such as SUPERFLY and SHERLOCK HOLMES. Subsequently, he joined Muse Entertainment as the Development Coordinator, where he played a pivotal role in shaping a broad spectrum of projects for leading platforms including Hallmark Channel, Netflix, Apple, Amazon, and HBO. Notably, he worked on the successful adaptation of The Martha Vineyard Mysteries into Hallmark's highest-rated mystery series and crafted multiple treatments that were acquired for further development.
Following the pandemic, Brian transitioned to Lionsgate Television, contributing to the development of both established series like MINX, GHOSTS, MYTHIC QUEST, and ACAPULCO, as well as pioneering new endeavors such as THE CONTINENTAL and MANHUNT.
Brian subsequently joined Participant Media in a role focused on Content & Platform Strategy, where he assessed episodic, feature, and documentary projects within the dynamic entertainment landscape, devising innovative strategies to bring them to fruition.
Most recently, Brian has returned to Lionsgate in a new capacity, now operating within Home Entertainment and Global Content. Serving as a linchpin between Lionsgate's motion picture and television divisions, he collaborates across departments, from creative development to marketing to sales and distribution, with the overarching goal of identifying key acquisitions and executing global-scale initiatives.
Brian was AMAZING! It's clear he's put in his 10,000+ hours in the biz. His notes were not only helpful, but they sparked great ideas that we batted back and forth. He helped make my pilot better by just talking through it! He expressed genuine enthusiasm about me and my writing, this particular pilot, and asked me to send him other materials. Yay!

Brian is now my go to for early draft work, his analysis and ideas are very useful without overpowering the original intent of the material. I would not hesitate to recommend Brian when you have a good draft that you want to turn into a great draft.

What To Expect
After registering, you will receive an automatic Order Confirmation email. Then Roadmap's Director of Consultations, Terra Joy, will get your mentor looped in with you! If you do not hear from Terra or the exec within 3 days of registering, feel free to email terra@roadmapwriters.com for an update.
Before starting your Month Mentorship, please ensure you are familiar with our Code of Conduct.
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, 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.
