Drew Pokorny
Founder · Producer · Development Executive
Drew Pokorny is a producer, development executive, and the founder of LIGHTSHEET, based in Los Angeles. A few of the projects on his current slate include SKETCH, a live-action with animation horror feature with Emma Roberts attached; REBOOT, a documentary series currently in post-production; and GIRL MEETS BOYBAND, a comedy feature with director Tyler Spindel attached.
Producers and writers frequently send Drew their projects in hopes of adding him as a producer. More often than not, most projects are not in need of yet another producer. What they need is someone who can tell them clearly and specifically where their pitch, script or package actually stands, and what the five or ten next steps are that they should take in order to actually get their project moving in a serious way. Drew has been doing that informally for years. Writers and indie producers who have worked with him consistently say it was the most useful feedback they received.
From Drew
The business side of show business is, arguably, the least understood part of the entire process. And for most of the history of this industry, creatives didn't have to bother knowing about how the gears turn. But in 2026, that's just not acceptable, especially when everyone has Final Draft on their laptops and a full camera department in the palm of their hands.
I'm a working packaging producer who understands territory values, buyer appetite, financing sequencing, and when to attach talent versus when to pursue capital, and so on. I've created, produced and sold projects. And in my earliest days I wrote scripts and taught screenwriting classes.
So when I read your script or look at your pitch deck or watch your sizzle, my assessments come with actionable solutions attached. I never say ridiculous things like “I just didn't like that character” or “act two just didn't feel right.” I've been there countless times and I know what works and how to help. From idea to script to dev to packaging through production and post and delivery.
