Work one-on-one with an executive at mutually agreed upon times around your schedule. To start, you'll have a 15-minute strategy call with your executive to get the lay of the land for the month. Then, you’ll have email access to your executive throughout, plus four one-hour story notes sessions. Work on a single screenplay or multiple scripts plus get additional notes on your pitch, brand strategy, and career advice - work your mentorship to its fullest potential!
Honestly I prefer just a relaxed conversation. I want to know the concept and who the story is about. Also I like when you use comparable titles.
I would ideally like to work with feature film writers developing comedy or action projects with a budget range of £1–2 million. I have a particular passion for female-driven stories and am drawn to writers who are ready to make bold, commercial work on a lean budget.
Currently not looking for any scripts that would exceed 5-10mill budget and not really looking at war films or verticals.
Sherice Griffiths is an award-winning LGBTQ+ writer, director, and producer, and the founder of Roguish Films — an independent production company dedicated to bringing bold, genre-defying stories to screen.
A BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing Contest winner and Academy Nicholls Fellowship quarterfinalist, Sherice has spent the last decade building a proven track record of taking original work from the page all the way through to production.
Her debut feature film DAMAGED GOODS, an action-comedy she wrote, directed, and produced, is currently in post-production — a milestone that represents the full journey from concept to completion.
Under the Roguish Films banner, Sherice has produced and directed a slate of short films — including KILLING FOR A LIVING, THE FRIENDSHIP OF FISH, and DAKOTA STONE — which have collectively earned 25+ selections across BAFTA and BIFA qualifying festivals internationally. She has also directed episodic content, most recently helming Episode 302 of the award-winning fantasy webseries REN: GIRL WITH THE MARK, and served as 2nd Unit Director on BBC Drama's MISS AUSTEN, mentored by BAFTA-winning director Aisling Walsh.
Her BBC Drama credits, combined with her roots as a working producer who has personally navigated development, funding, casting, and production, give Sherice a uniquely practical perspective on what it actually takes to get original work made.
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.
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, 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.
