I'm a director looking to chat with anyone developing an ambitious short film or microbudget feature. Let's see if we have a match for your project. I'm not looking for only a script, but for a partner who is willing to join me in the legwork needed in order to move forward. I'm interested in fair compensation for all involved. Timeframe: 1 month to 1 year Budget range: $5K to $100K or so Projects on this scale are appropriate for my experience and the partial funding that I can bring to a project that I direct. Any phase of development is fine, provided that there's at least a 1 page treatment or interesting IP. I can write or rewrite. I can bring treatments and samples to the conversation. my genre interests: drama, dramedy, comedy/satire/sketch, crime drama/neo-noir; and elevated or deep genre like horror or modern fantasy, etc. my tone/style interests: realism, or arthouse, or character pieces, or unconventional/offbeat; mainstream-indie crossover is also of interest my strengths: directing actors, indie casting, unusual aesthetics or tone or concepts, smart content; working with a cinematographer and production designer NOT interested in: vertical video, fan films, superheroes, pure action, conservative or religious content, overly message-driven content, or the Netflix look unless we're making single-camera comedy Please provide your full name and 2 sentences or more about your project. Please link to your IMDb and company site if you have them. If your project seems like a good fit for me, I'll reply with my work and other details. If you agree that we may have a fit, we can schedule a chat.
