INDEXLooking for collaborators for sketch comedy and horror short films
1 year, 6 months ago - Jess Gonzalez
Hello creative people!
I'm looking for collaborators or people interested in making sketch comedy and horror short films.
I put runner but in reality, I'd like to have a team, so if you are a producer, DOP, runner, sound designer, etc and my ideas resonate with you, please do get in touch.
I've been creating a lot independently (I'm a writer/director/performer), but I've realized you can't go anywhere without a good team and people I want to work with.
I have two main goals.
One is to create comedy sketches/skits for social media, I would describe my style as a blend of SNL, Mighty Boosh, and IT Crowd, amongst others, I love satire, absurd, dark, and over-the-top comedy, and characters.
The second is to create horror short films, when I say horror is not about jumpscares, I like blending psychological horror with dark humor and satirical commentary.
This is my Youtube Channel which hopefully would give you an idea of the type of things I do : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHsKorDnDQPuNFH5Wxbb8zw
Anyway, if you're interested and you'd like to chat more about the possibility of us collaborating, just message me!
Best
Jess

Hi Anton!
Thanks, I'd like to attend one of their events but it always clashes with something else. Also saw there were 1 pound membership sales for today.
Keep me posted if it's worth it and you enjoy the community!
Cheers!

Hi Jess where are you based? I'm interested in collaboration always wanted to do some comedy sketch stuff and I love dark humour horror type things. I am an actor and photographer. I have collected quite a bit of film making kit along my journey so far and I have a small studio inside an old stable. Anyway I live on a farm near Bognor Regis. Most of my acting and photography happens in London and overseas. So wondering where you are based and I have messaged you on your Instagram account too. Hopefully we'll get something happening if logistically it can work out. If not I wish you the best of success in your endeavours.

Hi Jess
I'm a comedy writer, director, and editor and would love to get involved. I have a similar sense of humour and am always on the lookout to meet more likeminded funny people. Here are some links to my latest comedy shorts:
Couple Noises - https://vimeo.com/804048659
Piss Up - https://vimeo.com/775111114
Takeaway - https://vimeo.com/797073064
I'm shooting another comedy short next week called 'P is for Penis' and I cannot wait to get cracking on it! I have connections to great DOP's, sound recordists and producers who would love to work on more comedy content.
If you want to see the other comedy projects I've been involved with check out my website:

I hope you like my work and I look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers
Joe

Hey Joe,
I was fortunate enough to see couple noises and takeaway at funnylifefilms’ film festival last year, and truly wacky, fun and comical shorts they were.
Your work ethic on creating shorts is very inspiring and I’m a fellow lover of the comedy genre, so as an indie writer/producer, I’d love to be on set more and collaborate with other talented individuals.
If you are ever in need of a Producer, 1st Ad, Production Assistant or even a Runner, I’d love to be considered!
Thank you,
Zayd C

Hey Jess,
I am an actor, I have a great love for sketch comedy and listen to radio sketch shows 24/7. I have no experinece writing sketch aside from personal enjoyment but I would love to get involved and be part of your team. Whether that is helping edit scripts or doing read-throughs/ performances so you can get a sense of how the scene is working or either writing stuff together. I know I want to begin down this line of creativity but dont know where to start so I'm just putting myself out there :)
Best,
Immy

Hi Jess,
I'm a screenwriter/voice actor and have been working on both sketch scripts and quite dark (but more drama) short film scripts and would also love to find people writing and making similar projects. Let me know if you would like to see any examples of work and how to contact you and we can try and do something.
All the best,

Hi Jess, This sounds right up my street! I’m an actor and writer and have written short screenplays (including one I made myself as a solo project during the pandemic. It has 10 film festival laurels and several awards) and sketches that weee used as business training tools. I’m very interested in collaborating on new projects. If you want I can send you links to previous stuff and you can find CVs etc on Spotlight UK, Casting Networks and IMDB.
Cheers, John

Hey Jess,
might be a bit late to this but I’m an indie Writer/Producer who inspired by the great Jordan Peele. A legend of Horror and Comedy, in his own way.
I made “PHIL”, a lighthearted comedy short about “what if you could buy self love” - https://youtu.be/p7NOExLKqz4?si=30Tm7T55-c0Grc2n a while ago which was inspired by that SNL type vibe.
And I’m currently producing “SWITCH ON”, a stylistic horror short touching on anxiety and the educational pressures on students.
I’m always open to networking and collaborating, so I’d love to hear more about your ideas!

I sincerely appreciate the numerous messages I have received. However, I would like to draw attention to a crucial matter. Prior to potential collaboration or reaching out to me, I recommend taking the time to familiarize yourself with the nature of my work, which is accessible through the provided link to my YouTube channel in the post.
Should my work align with your interests, I would be delighted to engage in further discussion. Recognizing the personal and individual nature of artistic and creative pursuits, I am committed to partnering with individuals who share similar aspirations.
Best regards,
Jess
