I always appreciate passion and energy. If you’re excited about your story, let that come through. I want to understand why you’re the person who has to tell it. Don’t get too caught up in giving the “perfect” pitch; focus on what makes your project exciting, entertaining, and uniquely yours.
Features, always. Genre is less important to me than the central question: Would I want to watch this? I’m drawn to bold, entertaining concepts with a strong hook—thrillers, comedies, sci-fi, mysteries, and anything that feels fresh, provocative, or impossible to put down. At the end of the day, I like movies that feel like movies.
I like to look forward, not backward. Therefore, Period pieces and Westerns generally aren’t for me. I’m drawn to contemporary stories and, above all else, I just want to be entertained.
