More about Samuel Tolbert
A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Samuel Tolbert currently works directly under the Head of Film at Will Ferrell and Jessica Elbaum’s Gloria Sanchez Productions (BARB AND STAR GO TO VISTA DEL MAR; BOOKSMART; HUSTLERS). Previously, Samuel worked in the motion picture literary department at UTA. Having read and covered countless scripts for execs and agents, Samuel knows exactly what can make or break a writer in that critical stage of getting that first general meeting or getting that same sample a green light further down the line. Sam loves seeing new, innovative voices in the comedy space but also has experience with smaller indies and larger-budget family features.
How it Works

Private Month Mentorship

Each month mentorship kicks off with a preliminary 15-min. call to set expectations and lay out strategy for the month. Writer will have email access to the executive plus 4x one-hour consultations with the exec. Exec will read up to 4 scripts in one month (different drafts of the same script or 4 different scripts) and conduct 4x one-hour story notes calls. Calls can also include feedback on your pitch, branding, or career strategy.

If you pay with the deposit/payment plan, your second half will be due the 2nd week of the Mentorship. If you need a different type of payment plan, email dorian@roadmapwriters.com. 

**Please note feature screenplays are limited to 120 pages maximum. Please contact terra@roadmapwriters.com for pricing on a Month Mentorship on screenplays exceeding 120 pages.

What To Expect

After registering, you will receive an automatic Order Confirmation email. Then Roadmap's Director of Consultations, Terra Joy, will get your mentor looped in with you! If you do not hear from Terra or the exec within 3 days of registering, feel free to email terra@roadmapwriters.com for an update.

Before starting your Month Mentorship, please ensure you are familiar with our Code of Conduct
