Your novel sounds interesting. Congrats on getting it published and good luck with the adaptation.
Congratulations! Sounds soooo interesting! If successful as a limited series, I envision a series that captures regional crime stories, including real ones like the daylight murder of the town bully in Skidmore, Missouri.
The townspeople “…didn’t see anything.”
One of the things I’m always curious about when talking with producers and filmmakers is how everyone keeps themselves informed about what’s happening across the industry.
Between new distribution models, changing audience habits, production trends, technology shifts, and the constant movement of pro...

I try to stay updated through industry trades, newsletters, and networking with other creatives. I also track the kinds of projects that are getting produced and finding audiences, since that usually signals where the market is moving.
Sebastian Tudores Thanks, that's a good list.
I use the dailies to keep up with the industry.https://newsletter.readthedailies.com/subscribe?ref=EvIH6TrM7d&\_bhlid=bf7a73b936aab597b0df9777ef50b28c5a049d32
I don't subscribe to the trades, but I follow their X accounts so if there are any interesting articles I can read them. I also just signed up for the Dailies. The industry podcast I listen to is THE TOWN. Which basically sums up everything in the trades so saves a lot of time.

I’m currently pre-producing my first independent short film. It’s a psychological thriller/noir. The script is very tight (only 5 pages), but I believe it is not as good as it should be.

I really appreciate your kind words about Ban Sensay.
Ban Sensay is an original children's animated series concept focused on adventure, wisdom, and positive values for young audiences.At this stage I am looking to connect with creative partners who could collaborate on:
• animation development
• storytelling and series development
• potential co-production opportunities
My goal is to bring Ban Sensay to life as an animated series that can inspire children while building a meaningful and memorable world.
I would love to learn more about Creative Station and explore whether our visions could align.
Warm regards,

Expand commentThank you for sharing more about Ban Sensay! I really love the focus on adventure, wisdom, and positive values, it aligns closely with the kinds of stories we enjoy bringing to life at Creative Station. I also know there’s real value in developing an animation geared toward the younger audience. Do you have a short logline or brief overview of the series to better understand the core concept?

Expand commentHi Cyrus,
Thank you for your thoughtful comment and for taking the time to engage with Ban Sensay.
Logline:
In a world where everyday childhood challenges feel like great adventures, a calm and insightful mentor named Ban Sensay guides children to discover courage, kindness and inner strength—showing them that wisdom can be the greatest superpower of all.
Ban Sensay is an animated series for children that blends adventure, humor and emotional growth. Through imaginative stories and gentle wisdom, Ban Sensay helps young characters navigate friendship, fear, honesty and perseverance while discovering their own strength.
I would be happy to share a short series bible and visual concepts if helpful.
Regards , Dragica
Hi Alex,
“Samurai marshmallow” might be the most charming description of Ban Sensay so far.
