Hi Dan,
My writing partner and I are finishing up a 1/2 hour single camera comedy pilot. Do you only consult on hour long dramas? Thanks in advance.
best,

Hi Mark,
I consult on one hour and 30-minute pilots (or whatever variation you may have, like a web series). I will shoot you an email. Thanks. 🙂
