About the job
I’m currently building out the producing team for a series called Frisco, a political fantasy set in modern San Francisco that blends prestige drama with satirical elements. Think somewhere between Game of Thrones and Veep.
We have:
- Completed trailer / sizzle reel
- Finished scripts for first three episodes
- Pitch deck and one-sheet ready
- Defined scope for a contained first episode (~60–70k), with a path to 3 episodes
- A guaranteed streaming release
I’m looking to bring on a producing partner, ideally someone with experience in financing and packaging indie projects. Also great if you're interested in helping take a pilot from development through production and release.
The goal is to build a small, aligned team that can move the project forward in a focused way.
Compensation: Paid from production budget (upon financing), plus producer credit and backend participation.
Planned release is digital/platform-based, with the goal of building an audience and expanding the series from there.
If this aligns with your experience, feel free to message me with a bit about your background and projects you’ve helped bring to life.
Happy to share materials.

This sounds like a very well-developed package already, especially having a sizzle reel, completed scripts for multiple episodes, and a defined pilot scope. That level of readiness immediately puts it in a more serious production conversation rather than early-stage development.
The concept itself is also interesting—political fantasy in a modern U.S. setting with tonal contrast between prestige drama and satire is a space that can work very well if the worldbuilding and character hierarchy are clearly structured and consistent across episodes.
From a producing standpoint, the key next step usually comes down to clarity around execution pathway: how the financing is structured, what the attached talent/crew strategy looks like, and how the project is being positioned for platform acquisition or independent distribution leverage.
Since you already have materials prepared, the strongest value-add at this stage would typically be a producer who can help:
refine packaging for investors or platform submissions
assess budget-to-scope alignment across episodes
structure a realistic financing + production plan
and guide the project through attachments (cast, director, sales/distribution strategy)
I’d be interested in understanding a bit more about how you’re currently approaching financing and what stage you’re prioritizing first—attachment, funding, or distribution pathway—since that usually determines the kind of producing partnership that fits best.
Either way, it’s clear you’ve done significant development work upfront, which is often the hardest part to get right.
