There's so much to accomplish in the first act of a feature. Worse, if the reader isn't hooked by page 15, they'll likely stop reading. For the First 30 Consultation, you'll submit the first 30 pages of your feature or one-hour pilot script, and then have a 30-minute story notes call with the executive. They will help you boost your hook and refine your set up to make sure it is as strong as possible so readers HAVE to know what happens next.

While I'm only able to entertain concepts for the preschool space that fit the Disney Junior brand, I have a wide range of genre experience; from my time at Bold Films or Hyde Park Entertainment to developing new musicals and plays for Broadway and the West End.
Charlie Zicari started his career in New York City as the Assistant to Stafford Arima for his concert production of "Ragtime" at Lincoln Center and the Production Assistant for Scott Schwartz's workshop of "The More Things Change" at Second Stage Theater.
Since then, Charlie has been involved in the development and production of several musicals on Broadway and the West End, including "Disney's Newsies," "Between the Lines," "Maurice Hines is Tappin' Thru Life," and "9 to 5." He was also the cofounder of Life in Luggage Productions, a production company intended for recent and upcoming musical theatre graduates, and served as Producer & Director for the company's inaugural productions of "Grease" and "Legally Blonde: The Musical."
Most recently, Charlie helped to develop a diverse range of film and television projects at Bold Films (COLETTE) and Hyde Park Entertainment (PASHMINA, FORDLANDIA). He is currently a Creative Executive in Development & Current Series at Disney Junior, where he founded The Writer's Clubhouse; Disney Junior’s first initiative to engage, develop, and mentor writers with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences to become the next generation of creative preschool storytellers under Disney Branded Television’s “Storytellers” umbrella.

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.
