| Why this script? Why are you writing it? Why is it important that this get made now as opposed to in the future? I'm looking to figure out what will make buyers excited and why it is relevant to audiences now. |
I'm pretty open but I'm looking for features that could be made for less than 15 million dollars. Genre is great. Character driven rather than premise driven.
Heavy fantasy. Knights. Kings. Dragons. It needs to be grounded and character driven in a big way to draw my interest.
Same with science fiction. I tend to gravitate towards grounded stories that are character driven and exist in some version of the world we live in. Not that I would turn down the next Star Wars but that's an exception rather than the rule.
