UK Producer Seeking Film & TV Projects for Development
A UK-based producer with a strong, global track record is actively seeking new feature film and TV projects for development. The ideal projects will have a distinct setting and strong international appeal, with a focus on:
Settings of Interest:
Italy, Mexico, Japan – Preference for projects that authentically capture these cultures.
Former Yugoslavia (Croatia, Serbia, etc.) – Open to stories from or about the region.
Genres of Interest (don’t necessarily need to be set in above locations):
Art Heist – Stories that treat art as a high-stakes asset within a commercial or thriller context.
Entrepreneur Stories – Compelling narratives about visionaries building something groundbreaking.
Rom-Coms with Political or Cultural Conflict – Stories where romance unfolds against political or ethnic tensions (e.g., Crazy Rich Asians, Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu?).
Budget Range:
Feature Films: £2M – £15M
TV Projects: Case-by-case basis, but must be commercially viable.
Lower-budget contained stories will be considered if commercially appealing.
Talent & Experience:
Writers: Established writers preferred, but we welcome emerging voices with compelling, well-developed stories—especially those set in the listed locations.
Writer-Directors: Should ideally have previous work produced, but exceptions may be made for outstanding concepts.
What We’re Looking For:
Thought-provoking, globally relevant stories with high artistic and/or commercial potential.
Strong creative teams with a clear vision for the project.
