I'm probably just dense, but (in the pitch write-up) what does it mean when someone says: "Specializes In All Genres of Features and TV, except ... heavy dramas" What is heavy, compared to just plain "drama?" It's not a term with an obvious definition in my experience.

I would say topics which have huge consequences for the characters and fell depressing. No light at the end of the tunnel. Perhaps a character that is trying for a better life but society says no. Try as she might, she goes backwards.
What Dan MaxXx said.
So, I'm concluding that "heavy" drama amounts to drama with a very unhappy ending, more or less. Thanks all for the enlightening and / or amusing comments!
