Particularly Interested In

Horror/comedy, Psychological horror, dark comedies, rom-coms, female-driven, mockumentary, revenge style like PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN. I also love magical realism ( in the vein of THE LEFTOVERS, LOST, DISPATCHES FROM ELSEWHERE), also anything that is an out-of-the-box idea like THE TRUMAN SHOW, PLEASANTVILLE, BACK TO THE FUTURE, ADAPTATION, BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND anything a little off center. Some of my favorites are Martin Mcdonagh, Larry David, Damon Lindelof, Diablo Cody, Kay Cannon, Greta Gerwig. My taste is diverse, but something fun and unique.

How it Works

After registering, you will receive instructions on how to submit your material in your order confirmation email. After submitting your material, please allow 3-4 weeks to receive proposed times for scheduling your call with the exec.

**Please note only features and one-hour pilots are eligible for First 30 Consultations. Half-Hour pilots are ineligible for First 30 Consultations.

Be sure to familiarize yourself with Roadmap's Code of Conduct.

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.
