I'm a director looking for a producer to partner with on my next short film. I need someone eager to add a quality project to their resume and who will champion the film from pre-production through post — someone who will help solve problems, make the right connections, cut deals, manage the budget, crew, rentals, schedule, logistics, and relationships. I want to find someone who is eager to produce the way I am eager to direct, and we can help each other further our respective careers. The film is a psychological horror short — specific details will be shared with serious candidates. The crew will be paid, but for the producer, the compensation is the project itself: sole Producer credit, and the career value of a festival-bound short. This will be roughly a year-long partnership built around our day jobs and real life — weekends, free time, whenever schedules align. The work extends well before and beyond the four days of production, and you need to be comfortable with that going in. If money is your motivating factor, you need not apply. My last short premiered in 2025 at Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (POFF) in Estonia. I produced it myself. This next project is being made with the intention to travel the festival circuit as well, and I need to focus on directing. Please submit your credentials — resume, prior producing credits, website, Instagram, cover letter, whatever you have — along with a short description of yourself and your aspirations. If I feel there's a partnership to be had, I'll reach out and share more so we can decide whether to proceed together. Los Angeles based only. Thank you. I look forward to reading your submission.
