About the job
Fargoing Films is developing a 10-episode limited series based on the true story of the first Chinese nationals ever designated as CPOTs. This is the same elite classification historically reserved for Pablo Escobar and El Chapo. Fewer than 200 people in history have ever received this designation.
The series follows Daniel Ceron, who orchestrated North America's largest fentanyl operation from inside prison. Built around a redemption arc that gives the story genuine emotional weight, this project carries rare crossover appeal to both crime and faith-based audiences.
Life rights are secured. This is historically significant material with a built-in dual market.
We are looking for an experienced Co- Executive Producer to collaborate on the full 10-episode series. Remote producers are welcome until we move to production. I am looking for a producer to be with us all the way through post production. However, this is a true collaborative partnership. The project's founder will be actively involved in the process, contributing to story concepts, character development, and creative direction throughout. If you thrive in close creative collaboration with a producer who is deeply invested in the material, we want to hear from you.
PAYMENT IS DEFFERRED UNTIL FINANCING IS SECURED. WE ARENT LOOKING FOR A HANDOUT WE ARE LOOKING FOR A PARTNER WHO RECOGNIZES THE PROJECT POTENTIAL.

Hello Robert,
This sounds like a powerful and highly marketable project with strong real-world significance, compelling stakes, and unique crossover appeal for both crime and faith-based audiences. The combination of secured life rights and a redemption-driven narrative makes it especially interesting.I wanted to ask, beyond the search for a Co-Executive Producer, where do things currently stand in terms of financing, audience/community building, and strategic positioning for the series?I ask because I help projects with funding strategy, visibility, positioning, and community growth, and I’d be interested to understand where the greatest needs are at this stage and how I may be able to contribute meaningful value to the project’s progress.There are also grant and funding opportunities that a project of this scale and subject matter could potentially qualify for.Looking forward to hearing from you.
