We've all received a note that made us scratch our head in bewilderment. What did that producer/development executive even mean when they said "the conflict doesn't track" or that "they're unsure whose story this is"? How do you A) respond to their notes gracefully, B) interpret what they mean, and C) address them effectively? 

Join Roadmap Writers and Chisom Ude for this webinar to get your own note-taking cheat sheet! 

This 70 Minute Webinar Will Cover: 

  • How to engage with notes professionally 
  • Character notes 
  • Story/structure notes 
  • Style notes 
  • Live Q&A 
More about
Chisom Ude
Development Executive
Formerly at Lionsgate

Chisom is a film executive committed to creating entertaining multi-generational movies. Raised in the suburbs of Atlanta by Nigerian immigrants, Chisom’s obsession with pop culture drove her to boarding school where she could explore a variety of activities from running track to hosting her own radio show. While away, she discovered that she built community best through movies. Most recently a Creative Executive in Lionsgate’s Motion Picture Group, Chisom’s development slate spanned over twenty titles including a NOW YOU SEE ME sequel, as well as a dramedy penned and directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green (KING RICHARD). In the last two years, she has managed five features in production and post including the action-thriller SHADOW FORCE, and Adele Lim’s directorial debut JOY RIDE starring Ashley Park (EMILY IN PARIS) and Stephanie Hsu (EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, ALL AT ONCE). 

Prior to her film career in Los Angeles, Chisom worked in global finance in London and in unscripted television in New York. Chisom’s exposure to various environments has continued to shape her ability to identify concepts that resonate with a wide audience.

Chisom earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Politics from Princeton University.

Testimonials

Chisom was absolutely fantastic! We did everything from deep dives on single scenes to overall theme/character improvements. She was engaged throughout, and I could tell she really read the script and understood it. Highly recommend!
