Be polite and courteous but also to-the-point. Don't feel the need to be too overly-prepared or structured but also don't have a completely laissez faire approach. Come natural and prepared but also be yourself. Convey to me why this project is unique or important, why you're the person to tell this story, and why the moment is right for it. If you have any apparatus in place already, such as attachments, please lead with that.
Low-budget (sub-$1 million) or micro-budget (sub-$100k) thriller/horror/genre features with a focus on new, unique, and/or socially relevant material. What haven't I seen before, and why do I need to see it now? What have you got for me that I won't be able to call by page five?
High-dollar, big-budget, high-concept projects that would cost several million to hundreds of millions of dollars. I'm also not interested in material that bashes the viewer over the head or is too on-the-nose in trying to convey its point; in sci-fi terms, I want the Next Generation approach to allegorical storytelling, not TOS. I'm also not currently after sci-fi or fantasy epics, television programs, podcasts, gore-based horror, or rape/revenge stories.

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 by Roadmap, 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.
