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.

I like to know why someone is writing this story, and what they're trying to say. I think it almost always all boils down to that. Then comes character and who the writer is working with within the story to say their message.
Dramedies! Open to anything though, but those are my favorite.
Michael currently works as an assistant in the TV Literary Department at ICM Partners, working under a partner and Co-Head of the department. During his time at Northwestern, he produced two shorts, a web series, and a student comedy show for a year. In addition to that, he wrote and directed his own short film, and wrote several pilots he continues to work on. He is excited to put his head together with other writers to help their creative process as well as his own.
