While there are many ways to pitch, writers should pitch in the way that best showcases their strengths. Above all, be organized and have a strong point of view. While it's not possible to anticipate everything that may be lobbed your way, be prepared to answer any number of questions about your characters and plot.
Also, being a storyteller should bring joy to all. Relax, have fun, and draw me into the world and its characters.
I have a broad range of experience and interests in film and television. I have the most experience in biopics, true stories, drama, comedy, romance and Christmas. That said, I have also worked on the script development of musicals, thrillers and horror. Digging in and finding what really makes a story sing is what I always have and always will be interested in.
I am open to any genre that a writer would like to bring to me. While some things may not seem to align with my background, I am an avid television and film watcher and would welcome the opportunity to stretch my creative muscles in areas that may not be as obvious.
Steven started his career as an actor in NYC before moving to Los Angeles, where he shifted into feature film production. Soon after, he transitioned into TV Development at Sony Pictures Television and eventually found a long-term home at HBO Films. There, he was part of the creative team behind Emmy Award-winning TV movies including BAD EDUCATION, BESSIE, THE NORMAL HEART, BEHIND THE CANDELABRA, GAME CHANGE, and TEMPLE GRANDIN.
Steven also mentored and managed members of the HBO Access Writers and Directors program, which offered guidance, mentorship, and education to diverse creative talents. The program, focused on developing pilot presentations from script to production, produced award-winning projects that debuted at festivals such as Tribeca, the New York Television Festival, SeriesFest, and South by Southwest (SXSW).
After HBO, Steven became an International Scripted Development Executive at Reel One Entertainment (recently renamed Studio TF1 America), overseeing the development of films for international and U.S. markets. He collaborated closely with writers from the initial concept through greenlighting scripts for production. As an Executive Producer, he stayed involved through all stages—pre-production, production, post-production, and marketing. His films are currently streaming in the U.S. on services including Tubi, Plex, The Roku Channel, Amazon Prime Video, Pluto TV, The Dove Channel, Paramount+, and Peacock. Additionally, his films have aired on UPtv and Great American Family and are available in international markets such as Canada, the UK, Australia, France, Italy, and Croatia.

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 by Roadmap, 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.
