Film ambition - a job post by Nayden Zhelev

About the job

Format: Feature Film | approx. 150 minutes I’m seeking a producer interested in a dark comedy with a strong theatrical heartbeat — Film Ambition is a completed feature-length screenplay that dives deep into the chaotic world of aspiring Indian filmmakers.

Set primarily in Mumbai’s film industry, Film Ambition follows a tight-knit creative troupe—a writer, director, and producer—whose bonds shatter through betrayal and ego, culminating in a gripping courtroom confrontation.

While the story unfolds mostly in cramped apartments and a single film set, over 50% of pivotal scenes occur in authentic theater spaces: rehearsal rooms, dressing rooms, and low-stakes production meetings, infusing the script with intense theatrical energy.

Tagline: The truth always finds its audience"

Genre: Drama/Satire (with elements of Romance & Dark Comedy)

Logline:
When his stolen script becomes a Bollywood hit, a furious writer strikes back with a new film—mocking the very industry that betrayed him.

Budget:
This is a low-budget project with limited locations and a focused cast, designed for efficient production without sacrificing story depth.

What I’m Looking For:

• Producer with a passion for bold, character-driven independent films

• Experience or strong interest in dark comedy and theatre-centric storytelling

• Connections to Indian film production, international co-productions, or indie film financiers

What’s Ready:

• Completed feature-length screenplay available upon request

• Detailed production notes and shooting outline focusing on limited, authentic locations 

 If you’re interested in collaborating on a film that balances sharp satire with heartfelt storytelling and has the potential to resonate both domestically and internationally, I’d love to connect.

All positions will be paid once a producer is secured and funding is in place.    

Serious collaborators only. Thank you for your understanding!
