Short films are a great and accessible way to get your feet wet as a multihyphenate (writer-producer, writer-director), and give you real world experience to set yourself apart. In the Shorts Consult, you will submit your short film script (20 pages max) to the exec of your choice, and have a 30 minute notes call to discuss feedback on pacing, character, dialogue and tone, how to elevate marketability, and strategy for next steps.

If it’s a comedy, cut straight to the funniest parts in each Act. Comedies can fall flat in pitches because the jokes aren’t delivered properly. For Sci-Fi and Fantasy you must be really clear on the world-building, and very adept at making it immersive quickly. Suck in the audience so they feel as if this is a world they want to escape to. Or a world they never want to go to… And for other mediums, I recommend being passionate and just being very prepared.

I am not interested in Horror or in any project that uses rape or assault as a form of “character building.” Also definitely not interested in Covid stories that are supremely depressing because life right now is depressing enough!
