How to approach
Their contact page says they love working with new writers but are only able to accept scripts and treatments sent through a literary agent. Both halves are worth taking seriously: the openness to new writers is real, and it operates through agents rather than instead of them.
Treatments are named alongside scripts, so a shorter document is not a way around the policy.
The PreList verdict
Who this is for: newly represented writers. Companies that say they love working with new writers usually mean it, and the ones that specify a literary agent are describing how they meet them, not filtering them out.
Who should skip it: unrepresented writers, for now. This is a good example of a door where the agent is genuinely the only missing piece, which makes the cold-reading agencies in this directory the right next click.
