I spent seven years as an executive producer at National Geographic Channel, evaluating third-party pitches from the buying side. I'm also a working screenwriter — twelve scripts to date, three as paid assignments, twice awarded at Jaipur IFF — so I take notes as often as I give them. Now I read your script and tell you exactly what a buyer will think, which pages prove it, and what to fix first.

Producers & production houses: I don’t sell documents to producers — I partner on projects. Pick one from your slate: I rebuild its pitch deck at no upfront cost; if the project is commissioned or set up, I take a story/development credit and a pre-agreed fee then. Email me the project.
Too many writers are sold shortcuts — “packaging,” “access,” “introductions” — by people who can’t improve a script’s chances. The industry is consolidated and opaque; there is no shortcut through that wall. The one thing a writer controls is the craft on the page. I spent six years studying it and seven years on the buying side watching it decide outcomes. The read is priced like the professional work it is, and every report gets the same undivided attention. The point is still fewer good scripts dying of bad guidance.
And coverage is only step one. The longer goal is Orchid Room itself: a writers’ room where every writer’s voice is heard, where we shape unique stories together — and where we hold the line on what our writing is actually worth, not the pennies being offered for vertical dramas and quick-turnaround content. Pragmatic about the industry, hopeful about the craft. If that sounds like a room you’d want to be in, the door is a script.
