Connecting with Filmmakers & New Projects

[ambrosejames3580]

Hi everyone, I’m Ambrose. I’m glad to be part of FilmPlatforms and looking forward to connecting with filmmakers, writers, producers, and other industry professionals from around the world.

I’m interested in discovering interesting film projects across genres, including romance, thriller, comedy, and more. I’m especially interested in projects that are still in development, at the screenplay stage, or being packaged.

Looking forward to connecting, learning from everyone, and exploring opportunities to work together.

Welcome, Ambrose. You’ll find quite a few projects here at different stages of development. I’d be interested to hear what usually makes you stop and take a closer look at an early-stage project the concept, the team, or its market potential?

Welcome! Great to see another addition to the platform that is interested in collaboration. Do you have anything that you yourself, are working on?

Thanks! For me, it’s usually a combination of all three, but a strong concept is what catches my attention first. Then I look at the team and the project’s market potential. I’m also open to early-stage projects where there’s room for development and collaboration.

One thing I’ve found useful with early-stage projects is getting clear from the start about what the filmmaker actually needs financing, a producer, sales support, creative input, or simply feedback. It can save everyone a lot of time when that’s clear from the first conversation.

I agree that being clear about what you’re looking for from the beginning is important.


I’m the writer and creator of Wish You Were Here: A Rock Fantasy, a completed six-episode fantasy/drama television series adapted from my published novel.

At this stage, I’m looking to connect with an experienced producer or production company interested in partnering to develop the series and help bring it to the screen.

I believe finding the right creative partner—someone who genuinely connects with the story—is just as important as finding the right opportunity.

I’m looking forward to connecting with others here and learning more about their projects.

Joyce, I think you make a really important point. Finding a producer isn't just about finding someone who likes the story. It's about finding someone who understands the project, knows how to position it in the market, and has the right connections to move it forward.

With a six-episode series, having a strong pilot, series bible, and a clear idea of the target audience can make those first conversations much more productive.

Have you already put together a pitch package for the series?

 

[JoyceTiger11]

Thank you! I completely agree that finding the right producer involves more than simply finding someone who likes the story.


Yes, I’ve put together a pitch package for Wish You Were Here: A Rock Fantasy, including a pitch deck, logline, series synopsis, and the completed six-episode first season.


The series is a character-driven fantasy/drama that combines rock music, mystery, and the afterlife. It’s aimed at adult audiences who enjoy emotionally grounded stories with imaginative world-building.


I’m now focused on finding a producer or production company who connects with the material and has the experience to help move it toward development.


I’d be interested to hear what you think makes a pitch package stand out to producers

Hi Joyce,

It's great to hear that you've already put together a complete pitch package for Wish You Were Here: A Rock Fantasy.

From an international sales and distribution perspective, I think one of the most important things is helping a potential partner understand not only what makes a story compelling, but also where it could fit in the market.

A strong pitch should make it relatively easy to identify the target audience, the project's distinctive selling points, and what makes it stand out from other series competing for attention.

With a concept combining rock music, mystery, and the afterlife, you have an interesting mix of elements. The challenge is presenting them as one clear, compelling identity rather than several separate genres.

One thing I'd be curious about: have you identified any existing series or productions that you see as useful comparisons for your project, particularly in terms of audience and market positioning?

I think that could be an interesting starting point for the discussion.

That sounds like an interesting project, especially having a completed series adapted from your published novel.

Wishing you the best in finding the right partner to help bring Wish You Were Here: A Rock Fantasy to the screen.

Hi Zoltan,

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I agree that it's important to present the different elements of the series as one cohesive story.

The comparisons I've identified are The Leftovers, The Good Place, and Almost Famous.

The Leftovers shares the emotional exploration of grief, loss, and unanswered questions. The Good Place offers a comparison for its imaginative interpretation of the afterlife, although my series takes a more dramatic approach. Almost Famous reflects the rock music world and the relationships that are central to my story.

What makes Wish You Were Here: A Rock Fantasy different is that these elements come together through one central mystery: a murdered rock musician searching through five levels of Heaven for his best friend, only to discover that the afterlife may not be what he believes.

At its heart, it's a story about friendship, guilt, forgiveness, and the bonds that survive death.

I'd be interested to hear whether you think these comparisons help establish a clear identity for the series from an international market perspective.

Best,
Joyce
