We are looking for original vertical series with strong commercial potential and creators who can actually execute them.
For most submissions, we want to see a produced Episode 1, not simply a script or teaser.
The ideal pilot immediately grabs attention, introduces the story clearly and ends with a reason to watch Episode 2.
Generally around 45-90 seconds, depending on the project.
We care more about whether it works as an episode than hitting an exact number.
You can include a teaser, but a teaser normally does not replace Episode 1.
We want to understand how your actual series works.
Yes, preferably.
Along with your pilot, we want enough information to understand:
No.
The pilot is partly a proof of concept.
We want to see your storytelling, visual direction, editing, character consistency and ability to execute a vertical episode.
We may ask you to improve the pilot before placing it in the catalog.
Not necessarily.
AI is changing how series are produced. We care about what you can create.
However, creators selected for production must be capable of reliably producing professional episodes on deadline.
