This session format is available only to writers in our Top Tier Program.
This session includes 2 x 30 minute Zoom meetings.
In the first meeting, the exec will review the feature script OR pilot and bible (if provided) and meet with the writer via Zoom for 30 minutes to provide rewrite notes.
The writer will rewrite their script with the markup switch on and send it back to the exec to read and then meet with the exec via Zoom for a second 30 minutes to receive further feedback on their script.
Don't overthink it, just tell me a good story and why I should care about these characters and the journey they go on. You only get one chance to pitch to someone, so make sure your story, concept, and characters are exceptional. And give me a reason to say yes.
High end commercial projects, true stories or stories that could be true. Grounded action, sci-fi, crime, and drama. Character driven stories. Think ARRIVAL, HELL OR HIGH WATER, EX MACHINA, FURY, THE MARTIAN, SICARIO.
