Just relax. Communicate your personal connection to the story. Visual elements are always appreciated. Explain your characters. Who will we meet in this world? What is the antagonist force or person the main character will have to overcome. If it is a series, what is the vision for the second season and beyond.
Have fun! This is a creative environment.
I am particularly interested in television and film comedies, YA, teen dramas, Family dramedies, rom-coms, workplace comedies, and stories about or from a Millennial point of view. Also interested in other specified genres outside of the above. Looking for vibrant and defined characters in larger than life situations.
I am not interested in science fiction, westerns, horror (outside of teen slashers), period pieces or biographies.
