In addition to a tight, killer script, every TV project needs a strong series bible or deck to help convey sustainability and its role in the marketplace. And execs commonly ask for pitch decks for features as well! So submit your Series Bible, Pitch Deck (20 pages max each), or both, and the exec will conduct a 30-minute notes call (1-hour if submitting both documents) to help you clarify and sharpen the supplemental material to help your marketing efforts.

He made his foray into the studio system when he joined Warner Bros. Pictures and worked on projects such as MAD MAX: FURY ROAD, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, MAN OF STEEL among others. From there, he went on to become a Creative Executive at Columbia Pictures, a division of Sony Pictures Entertainment, where he helped to develop such films as VENOM, BAD BOYS 3, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG, and BLOODSHOT before leaving to join The Walt Disney Studios in their Live-Action Motion Pictures Production group.
During his tenure at Disney, Foster helped to shepherd the development and production of films such as PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES, Jon Favreau’s THE LION KING, JUNGLE CRUISE, Tim Burton’s DUMBO and the live-action LILO & STITCH. To date, Foster’s films have grossed over $4.1 billion at the worldwide box office. For his efforts, Foster was named to The Hollywood Reporter’s 2017 Next Gen: Execs 35 and Under.
After leaving his position as Vice President, Production at Disney, Foster went on to join the team at Michael B. Jordan’s Outlier Society where he worked on WITHOUT REMORSE and developed films based on Superman and Static Shock in collaboration with DC Entertainment. In 2021, Foster partnered with his long-time colleague, Zoë Kent, to form Driver+Kent Media, producing several projects across TV and film for Disney+, Amazon/Freevee, AMC Network, A+E Studios and more.
After registering, you will receive instructions on how to submit your material in your order confirmation email. After submitting your material, please allow about 3-4 weeks to receive proposed times for scheduling your call with the exec. If you haven't heard from your exec by the 3-4 week mark about scheduling, please email terra@roadmapwriters.com so we know to check in with them on your behalf about their proposed dates/ETA for you.
PITCH DECKS: These are visually-driven documents (20 pages max) that use images and short paragraphs of text to demonstrate the tone, world, character insight, key plot points, stakes, and theme of the series or feature. If the Pitch Deck is for a show, it will use some of the same sections of text as your Series Bible, but will be less extensive. When creating a pitch deck, always make sure that you are using images of a consistent size and quality, and that you use the same font, color code, margins, and other design specifications throughout.

SERIES BIBLES: These supplemental documents are text-only (20 pages max), and can get requested when marketing any sort of TV show. Among other things, they should demonstrate what makes your characters unique and captivating, the focus and evolution of their arcs, the rules of the world, the hook of the story engine, the intended tone and theme, as well as why YOU are the best person to write this show from this perspective. Here's example #1 and example #2. Note: The formatting and organization of Series Bibles has changed since these examples were created, but addressing these sections in your own Series Bible will be a great starting point to make sure you're answering questions before they're asked.
**Please note series bibles and pitch decks are each limited to 20 pages maximum. Please contact terra@roadmapwriters.com for pricing on a consultation for material exceeding 20 pages.

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.
