Directing Writing

Any directors interested in helming an episode of a web-series?

9 years, 8 months ago - Nick Hilton

Hi everyone,

I am looking to produce a new web-series in 2016. I put together a 6-episode web-series in 2015, and am looking to produce a 10-part series in 2016. The show is a political comedy (UK politics, I'm afraid) and the whole arc is scripted, though there's still plenty of polishing and revisions going on.

I'm looking to speak to some people about the possibility that they would step in and direct an episode (or two) of the upcoming series. I'm looking for people who have an ear for comedy, but I'm not too bothered by what experience they have. Basically, I want to sit down with you and talk about my plans for the show and see if we share roughly the same outlook! (I should add that a reasonable knowledge of UK politics is required to understand the context of the show.)

The show will be produced on a shoestring and we'll have to maximise however much shoot time can be arranged, but I'm hopeful that the end product will be top quality. If you're interested in directing made-for-web content but haven't had the opportunity to bring your own project to that point, then I think this could be a really interesting/informative experience for us all. I am approaching this new web-series with a lot of knowledge that I gained from my previous project, so I definitely recommend getting stuck in to something before you can really expect to produce something brilliant.

Anyhow, if this sounds vaguely interesting to you, please let me know here. I'm happy to consider and chat with anyone – it's still fairly early days and there's a lot we need to bring together behind the scenes, but I'd definitely like to start speaking to (and canvassing feedback from) interested parties.

Cheers,
Nick
