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
- Pitch Deck and synopsis
- 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!

Hello Zhelev,
Your project sounds like a bold and intelligent concept with strong creative potential. The combination of dark comedy, satire, theatrical energy, and an inside look into Mumbai’s film industry gives Film Ambition a distinctive voice that could resonate with both domestic and international audiences.I also appreciate that the project is designed with a low-budget, production-conscious structure. That kind of practical planning can make it more attractive to potential partners and funding pathways.Beyond traditional producers and private financiers, there are also grant and film funding opportunities that projects like this may potentially qualify for, especially those that support independent cinema, culturally rooted storytelling, emerging voices, co-productions, and internationally relevant narratives.With the right positioning, materials, and funding strategy, grants can become a valuable path alongside producer outreach and investor conversations.If that interests you, I’d be glad to connect and discuss possible opportunities and how the project could be positioned for funding success.Looking forward to hearing from you.
