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!
Please let me know why you love this property, and why you're the perfect person for that. Beyond that, I always want to make it a conversation, not just a pre-canned pitch.
Socially relevant, well-plotted stories
Religious, end of the world, post-apocalyptic stories (unless it's a great subversion of the tropes!)
David Burgis is a producer, and occasional writer, focusing on animation, digital content, and comedy. Working with Felicia Day's Chimera Society, he's produced the sci-fi comedy podcast "Voyage to the Stars" on Earwolf, and pitched to Netflix, HBO, and Lionsgate. His stop-motion horror short film NO MONSTERS ALLOWED has played and won awards at over 15 festivals around the world and is streaming on Amazon now. He’s produced multiple animated and horror projects, and worked with Netflix Animation, Nelvana, Legendary Studios, Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, Apple TV, and with directors such as Trish Gum (LEGO BATMAN), Sam Levinson (EUPHORIA), Jeff Blitz (REVIEW). When not working, he camps, reads history books, watches classic movies, and tries to brainstorm more fun things to say in biographies.
David was excellent! He made me feel relaxed throughout my first verbal pitch ever! He offered very knowledgeable advice to move forward with and gave me solid suggestions in a very encouraging way, to make improvements with. I would be delighted for the opportunity to pitch to him on this project after implementing his suggestions, or with any of my other projects as well, in the future.
