Joey started in the industry at Bold Films (DRIVE, NIGHTCRAWLER, WHIPLASH) and has read for Hugh Jackman's company, George Clooney's company, and Night and Day Pictures, to name a few. Experiencing how hard it was for writers to receive real tangible advice on how to break into the industry, Joey and Dorian created Roadmap Writers over 7 years ago. At Roadmap, Joey focuses on connecting vetted writers with execs in the industry. He has helped hundreds of writers connect to their representation, get staffed and get produced. He also mentors for Cinestory and The Writers Lab. When he's not helping writers, he spends his time rescuing animals in need.
Julianne Wargren is the Director of Top Tier at Roadmap Writers. She holds a Master of Letters (MFA Summa Cum Laude equivalent) from Sydney University with a major in screenwriting. While at university Julianne edited the USYD writer’s journal Phoenix. She has also been a reader for Austin Film Festival and Nashville Film Festival. Her animated feature MADEMOISELLE & MARMS is in development with Nancy Cartwright (The Simpsons), Callan McAuliffe (The Walking Dead) and Kath Soucie (Rugrats) attached. Julianne has several projects in development as well as pre and post production.
Spending any time with Joey is well worth it! He has the pulse of the industry and shares this vital information with all his writers. He is one of the most passionate advocates I've ever met and anyone is lucky to be in the same room as Joey Tuccio!
