Seeking SAG-AFTRA Producers, Writers, & Investors for Summer Film/TV Project – Premiere Before Summer Ends

About the Project:

We are assembling a high-quality film or TV production with plans to shoot this summer and premiere before the season ends. Our director has a committed crew, production budget, and equipment in place—now we’re looking for additional screenwriters (including actor-writers) to refine or contribute scripts, as well as investors who can help elevate the project’s scale.

If you’re a SAG-AFTRA producer looking for writers or a screenwriter with strong material (or an actor who also writes), we want to hear from you. Likewise, if you know SAG producers seeking projects, we welcome referrals.

What We Have Ready:

✔ Director & Core Crew – Experienced, with equipment and a production plan.

✔ Production Budget – Initial funding secured; seeking additional investment.

✔ Summer Timeline – Fast-tracked development, aiming for a late-summer premiere.

What We Need:

Screenwriters – For rewrites, punch-ups, or original scripts (especially those with producible, low-to-mid-budget concepts).

Actor-Writers – Talent who can contribute creatively while also performing.

Investors – Partners who can help expand the budget for higher production value.

SAG-AFTRA Producers – To collaborate on packaging, funding, or distribution.
