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.
Period Drama, Fantasy, War
