We are innovators, renegades, and entrepreneurs. Determined to disrupt traditional Hollywood, we have created a new path for storytellers without industry connections to get their ideas produced.
The Old Way vs. The New Way
The Old Way: Hollywood is a closed network. Search IMDb for your favorite movies—writers often have previous credits or agents. Without credits, agents won’t take you on, and production houses won’t sign you without an agent or past credits. Hollywood perpetuates its own cycle.
The New Way: Many storytellers have fantastic ideas that deserve to be made into movies. How do you break through Hollywood's brick wall? The answer is Call Sheet Media. We have the connections and financing to bring undiscovered talent to the screen.
Our Program is Completely Free
Screenwriters often spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on script doctors, coverage services, and screenwriting courses. However, the CSM Mentor Program is entirely free. We will never ask for large sums of money to produce your concept or take you on as a client. No games, no gimmicks, no bait and switch. The handful of people we select every six months pay nothing for our mentorship.
Bring Us Your Idea
We welcome all genres: thriller, comedy, documentary, horror, drama, crime, action, fantasy, romance, sci-fi, adventure, and all sub-genres. No idea is excluded—your hidden gem could be waiting to be discovered.
You don't even need a finished script. We often prefer working with raw ideas, developing them together. Your assigned CSM Mentor will nurture and guide you along the way.
We Are Mentors
We are truly mentors, selecting just 5-7 people every six months to provide expert guidance. We specifically seek individuals with no previous credits or agents, offering them a unique opportunity to get their concepts produced.
Proven Success for Program Graduates
Hundreds of storytellers have applied to the CSM Mentor Program, and only a select few have had the opportunity to interview. From those applicants, nine exceptional individuals were chosen, and all have secured either an option or a sale contract for their projects—a 100% success rate. This remarkable achievement highlights our commitment to providing the guidance, expertise, and support necessary to help our participants succeed in the competitive world of filmmaking and screenwriting.
A Movie or TV Deal
We know Hollywood, and we know a good concept when we see one. If you are accepted into our CSM Mentor Program, your story will be optioned, sold, or produced.
It’s almost impossible for a storyteller without credits or an agent to have their concept purchased by a production house. However, if you believe in your story and yourself, together we can make it happen. You’ll become a produced screenwriter.
The Interview Fee is Refundable
Our team invests weeks or months into developing your concept, and Call Sheet Media invests thousands of dollars in resources to ensure your success. The interview fee exists solely to discourage participants from withdrawing midway or near the end of the program after we have invested significant time and effort. Those not selected for the program are refunded 100% of the fee within 3 business days. If selected, and we do not produce an option or sell agreement for you, you will again be refunded 100% of your fee.
How Call Sheet Media Profits
You are part of an elite group of applicants because we believe in your potential. We invest significant time and effort in your project. Acting as your agent, we take a 15% commission from the value of your contract deal. For example, if your contract amount is $500,000, Call Sheet Media will collect a commission of $75,000.
What You Gain as a Participant
You will collaborate with industry professionals, including seasoned producers, accomplished screenwriters, and expert instructors from Michigan State University. They will help you refine your idea, get it market-ready, and teach you to write like a true professional. We guarantee that you'll secure an option or sale contract for your project and become a professional screenwriter with credits. No other production house in the world offers such a guarantee.
