Re: Good Notes Cheap
(responded to particulars of request via email)
But since it's come up... I read every genre, and I like a good screenplay in any genre.
"Have you ever covered an [insert genre]" is the number one question I get, so maybe I should address this generally.
If there's ever determined to be a genre of script I haven't read, I'll be very pleasantly surprised. Drama, Comedy, Romcom, Historic, Action, Thriller, Mystery, Sci-Fi, Horror, Slasher, Procedurals, Sitcoms, comic books, book adaptations, sequels, remakes. it's all been on my desk as a film company reader and in my current service. Of course hybrid combinations of the above and subgenres exist.
The closest thing to a 'new genre' that I've run across, in books anyway, is this thing they're calling Bizarro Fiction. Exemplified by the book ShatnerQuake in which all the characters William Shatner has played gang up to try to kill him. Maybe you could argue that's close to the Charlie Kaufman brand of odd comedies.
Anyway, the answer to "Have you ever covered an [insert genre]" is yes.
