INDEXWanted - director (and/or producer) - creative partnership!
6 years, 10 months ago - Carla Polidori
Are you a director or a producer who just wants to collaborate and make something creative that you're proud of, and that can be your calling card and help you progress? Do you like the idea of having a fun and determined writer buddy to make the journey all the more pleasant?!
I could be your writer!
I'm looking for my creative kindred spirit, who wants to team up and make a short or a web series to enter into some festivals or contests.
TL;DR on me - - I'm a 28 year old Londoner. I recently pulled out of a non-fiction book I was meant to be writing because it was terrible for my mental health, and I decided to focus exclusively on film. Now, I'm one of those very solitary writers and have a bunch of features and pilots to my name. I've had some early interest, but I'm realising that to get to the next stage of development/funding, I need to be able to just have some examples of my work in action than just scripts, and often for funding opportunities you need to have a creative team in place.
So I'm looking for my director counterpart to take the next step together! I have a load of ideas of what this could be, but equally would love to start from a spark together to make sure we both get what we want. Ideally a woman, just as a matter of preference.
I write dark comedy or drama with a comedic twist in equal amounts. Thematically I think a lot about technology, policial structures (from authority through patriarchy and feminism), and quirks in our modern world.
I do have production management experience, but if anyone with experience of financing and contacts -or wants to learn on the job - then please do get in touch also!
Please message me if you're interested, or send me any advice on how I can find this person. Thanks!

Hey Carla
I'd be very happy to meet for a cuppa and a chat if you fancy. I do write as well as directing but I've done far more directing than writing in my 15 years working in theatre. I've been moving over to film for the last 18 months or so and my first short film was in the short film corner catalogue at Cannes. I've since had interest from a Producer who I'm now in regular contact with discussing making a short film, and also moving forward with some other ideas.
You can have a look at my website www.lucylinger.com to see examples of my work. My directing credits are mainly theatre so that would probably be the best place to start. I've got snippets of reviews and stuff there. I'm used to working on new writing with the writer involved (which isn't always the case for film!).
Anyway drop me a line Lucy@lucylinger.com and perhaps we can.meet for a chat, or you can send me some of your work to have a read of.
I also coordinate a writers meet up in London so let me know if you'd like to be added to the email list for that, it's a great way to break up the lonely isolated aspect of writing.
Hope to hear from you

Hey Carla
I'm a writer/director but happy to help develop scripts as a director only. I'm in post on my fifth short film and looking for my next project whilst building to making my first feature. Here's a link to my fourth short film which was an iShort funded by Creative England and the BFI https://vimeo.com/221158223
If you like it lets grab a coffee as I like the same kind of themes as you.
Thanks
Tom

Hi Carla, I don't know if this could be of any interest to you, but I'm looking for treatments (for now) for a 13 episodes of 24 mins Tv series on the theme of love in all its varieties, that I've been asked to direct.
I was wondering if you have something already written on the subject or if you would be willing to write a new one page treatment.
The episodes need to be accessible to all ages at any time of the day, so no violence, sex etc.
The Producer is currently closing finances and once we have locked the budget and collected all the 13 treatments, he will issue contracts to develop the treatment in a script for $1500 each.
If interested, please contact me at lonromfilm@yahoo.co.uk and if you want to have an idea about my previous work please go to www.lonromfilmproduction.com
Best
