I want to work with passionate people. And that doesn't mean there has to be huge emotional stakes - people are passionate about the Simpsons, after all. So be excited! And be ready to work.
I'm particularly motivated to help writers get their TV ideas to where they can be pitched. The art of pitching is a specific practice that inspires me and is helpful to any writer. And the conversation between the actual idea, the actual script, and the way it's presented is fascinating and inspiring.
I'm not interested in web series.
