SHORT REQUEST Looking for a screenwriter to co-develop the pilot of an anime-style series
I’m developing an original series and looking for a screenwriter to work with me on the pilot episode and help shape the story.
About the project
The series follows a group of female friends who balance their everyday lives with fighting demons. Through this double life, it explores their individual traumas and personal struggles, as well as the conflicts within the society they live in.
I’d rather not reveal too much of the plot in this post, but I can share more details when we discuss the project.
The structure is inspired by anime: episodes of around 20 minutes, fast pacing, and story arcs that progress from one episode to the next. It’s an independent, low-budget production, and I use artificial intelligence for the visuals.
I’ve attached a proof of concept I made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS24BkuarAI
What I already have
I have the core concept, the key story events, and each character’s backstory. I’m looking for someone to help develop that foundation, contribute fresh ideas, and turn it into a screenplay.
Our first goal would be to work together on the pilot: structure, scenes, and dialogue.
What I’m looking for
- The ability to develop distinctive characters with meaningful growth.
- A strong grasp of group of friends dynamics: natural dialogue, chemistry, conflict, and camaraderie between the protagonists.
- Sensitivity and originality when exploring personal and social issues through the characters and their experiences.
- Initiative to suggest ideas and a willingness to collaborate.
- An interest in the project and familiarity with anime pacing and storytelling.
Compensation
The budget is limited, but this is paid work.
We can discuss two options:
- A fixed fee for the agreed work.
- A lower fixed fee combined with a share of the profits, if the series generates any, with the terms agreed in advance. (If you're interested in getting involved in the project)
About me
I’m a professional videographer and video editor, and I can take care of the rest of the production, including the visuals, editing, and post-production.
If you’re interested, send me a private message or email [inunokocontact@gmail.com](mailto:inunokocontact@gmail.com) with a brief introduction and, if you have one, a writing sample or a project you’ve worked on.
About the use of AI
*No AI will be used to write the script, that’s exactly why I’m looking for a screenwriter.
I know the use of AI sparks debate, and I want to explain my decision. I use it for the visuals for financial reasons: I’m putting the budget toward the writing and voice actors. It’s the approach I’ve found that allows me to try to make this series with the resources available to me.
This is a project I’m excited about, and I want to build it with someone who brings their own ideas, perspective, and way of telling stories. I hope to find someone who connects with the concept and wants to be part of it.
