Long shot but figured this was the right place to ask.

I'm making a horror-comedy short film and the story involves a mysterious medieval text-based game that kills the Twitch streamers playing it.

Mechanically it's very simple. Three / four rounds. Mix of riddle inputs, multiple choice, and fill-in-the-blank. Pass/fail states with a jester mask appearing on correct answers and a discordant failure screen on wrong ones.

What would take more care is the aesthetic; perhaps parchment textures, blackletter font etc. Cultist Simulator is a visual reference. But I'd rather discuss this all on a call with the Director so that we can figure out what is feasible and what suits the style of the short best.

This is unpaid (sorry I know that is super insulting but I'm self funding this whole project, maybe I can squeeze out an amazon gift card but I need to see what other expenses there are). I want to be upfront about that but depending on what we end up making there could be a future where we work with you to build a full version of the game that gets released (especially if the short does well online, we're in talks to getting proper talent attached).

I will be able to give you an IMDB credit and if the film leads to a feature version the game would expand with you involved.

DM a link to anything you've made and I'll send you the script.

PORTFOLIO: this is my first project and do not have a portfolio of any kind

Hey, I'm a Producer that's looking to make a short film. I used to work for a multi-award winning Indie Producer so I have a lot of experience with development & festival strategy.

Here's a synopsis of the short: A group of streamers play a game live that, of course, starts killing them IRL when they lose. As the rounds progress, the ensemble of deeply online characters have their interpersonal dynamics hilariously fall apart in front of their live audiences.

I have a draft of the script but looking to attach a Director with great comedic instincts & genuine understanding of gaming/streaming culture to refine the jokes & pacing.

In terms of tone, it's very Bodies Bodies Bodies meets Deadstream/Unfriended.

This would be done in screenlife format. Which means no geographical restrictions and more of a found footage horror vibe.

The goal is to get this ready for October's Horror short festivals. Funding is secured, so posting here to hopefully discover the right talent for the project.
