Executive VP of Production at Universal - Tom Craig. Pitch your
script to a pro who has had every major writer pitch to him over the
years. Tom will give you feedback to help you blow away studio

sure that you go in knowing exactly what do do. Dont wing it! If Tom
Craig likes your pitch he will consider optioning and developing it,
furthermore he will recommend it to rossWWmedia, Corp. for
consideration as part of their production slate and also pass it on
to TalentScout International Management to consider for
