This session format is available only to writers in our Top Tier Program.
Exec will review your pages and meet with you via zoom for 30 minutes to continue incubating your new project.
Love to hear what the writer's personal connection to the story is and how that dovetails into what the pitch is.
Unique, forward-thinking concepts, voices and sensibilities. Think SEVERANCE, EIGHTH GRADE, BARBARIAN and A24's elevated tastes that are character and theme-driven.
Ryan has worked in film and TV development since 2013. He is currently an independent producer, as well as a consultant at Hivemind (THE WITCHER, BEST MAN FINAL CHAPTERS, THE EXPANSE, SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK), where he was the Head of Development for 5 years and helped develop projects sold to Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Paramount and FX. Previously, he was a creative executive for The Sean Daniel Company and Valiant Entertainment (BLOODSHOT). He also helped develop multiple seven-figure spec sales, one of which topped the Black List. He's focused on independently producing his own slate, including one TV series set up at Amazon and a feature being packaged by UTA. He earned an MFA in Creative Writing from American University.
Ryan is the absolute best. He is thoughtful and sincere when providing feedback. He excels at providing creative notes that, once weaved into the story, enhance it, making it so much better than it was before the consultation.
