Work one-on-one with an executive at mutually agreed upon times around your schedule. To start, you'll have a 15-minute strategy call with your executive to get the lay of the land for the month. Then, you’ll have email access to your executive throughout, plus four one-hour story notes sessions. Work on a single screenplay or multiple scripts plus get additional notes on your pitch, brand strategy, and career advice - work your mentorship to its fullest potential!
Be concise, give tonal comps before diving into the story, and make sure the plot and themes are equally defined and easy to track.
I'm most interested in feature and TV scripts in the thriller, horror, comedy (especially R-rated), crime drama, true story, and sports genres. I especially like antiheroes and morally ambiguous/conflicted protagonists. With comedies, the drier and edgier the humor, the better!
Favorite movies include CASINO, THE USUAL SUSPECTS, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, DUMB & DUMBER, and THE DEPARTED. Most recently I enjoyed BLACKBERRY and The BLACKENING.
On the TV side, favorites include THE SOPRANOS, MINDHUNTER, OZARK, THE PLOT AGAINST AMERICA, ALWAYS SUNNY, CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, and ZEROZEROZERO.
Period and Romance dramas.
