This session format is available only to writers in our Top Tier Program.
Exec will review the pages provided by the writer before each meeting and meet the writer for 3 x 30-minute meetings via Zoom to assist the writer with developing a new project.
I personally love to hear a writer's personal connection to the material. I also want to be rooted in the protagonist's POV. I also think structure is key, so laying out the plot properly during a pitch can do a lot to cover up a lot of missing story specifics that can't be otherwise communicated due to time constraints.
While my background has been in TV, I'm currently focused on features, so that's where my mind is at. Genre-wise, I'm drawn to things with humor and heart. Comedy, feel-good, inspiring... all that kind of stuff.
I'm not interested in horror or graphic violence.
