I specialize in writing light-hearted kids' movies and series, or family-friendly movies.
My watching habits are much the same, with some regular sitcoms and sci-fi/fantasy action serials added on.
But I know there aren't many writers like me out there. So, when I do script exchanges, I tend to get dark, dramatic scripts. Sometimes, those scripts are too dark or gross for me to get through.
I do my best to avoid it, like communicating with potential note traders, but sometimes it happens anyways. This isn't just a recent thing for me - it's happened several times in the last few years.
How do you deal with reading scripts that are way out of your style/demographic wheelhouse, or in a genre you rarely watch?
