This session format is available only to writers in our Top Tier Program.
This session includes 2 x 30 minute Zoom meetings.
In the first meeting, the exec will review the feature script OR pilot and bible (if provided) and meet with the writer via Zoom for 30 minutes to provide rewrite notes.
The writer will rewrite their script with the markup switch on and send it back to the exec to read and then meet with the exec via Zoom for a second 30 minutes to receive further feedback on their script.
Make it concise focusing on characters and their development throughout the pilot/series/feature. Convey a comprehensive overview of the world and the plot you have created. but don't get bogged down in the details. Convey the world and the characters to make me/us fall in love with them. Don't make it feel like a presentation; you are trying to persuade me (the hypothetical/potential buyer) with emotions to spend money from my budget on your idea.
