Work one-on-one with an executive at mutually agreed upon times around your schedule. To start, you'll have a 15-minute strategy call with your executive to get the lay of the land for the month. Then, you’ll have email access to your executive throughout, plus four one-hour story notes sessions. Work on a single screenplay or multiple scripts plus get additional notes on your pitch, brand strategy, and career advice - work your mentorship to its fullest potential!
Keep it short, clear and concise.
High-concept, commercial film ideas that are marketable and can resonate with audiences globally in the Action, Thriller and Suspense genres. The ideas should be character-driven, smart, grounded and preferably contemporary, original stories.
European Thrillers with a strong international angle/setting like TAKEN, NON-STOP, UNKNOWN, THE COMMUTER, RONIN, FRANTIC are of particular interest right now.
Horror films like GET OUT and SPEAK NO EVIL that can appeal to a wide theatrical audience. These ideas need to be grounded (no obscure worlds) and benefit from a very relatable hook / stage of life.

Before starting your Month Mentorship, please ensure you are familiar with our 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, 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.
