Director looking for comedy writer/collaborator for Mockumentary short
Hi all,
I'm a working director based in Los Angeles looking for a comedy writer to collaborate with me on a mockumentary short that I intend to produce and direct.
I'm specifically interested in the kind of mockumentary that treats an absurdly specific world/character with complete seriousness Less sketch comedy, more “this documentary crew somehow discovered a world that shouldn't exist.”
I'm developing the outline/premise, so I'm not looking for someone to simply execute an already-finished idea. I'm looking for somebody funny with a strong point of view who wants to build the story, characters and escalation together. But with the intention to keep this in a reasonable scope so we can make this thing.
Target: 10–12 pages Genre: Mockumentary / dark comedy / satire
Location: Writer can be anywhere in America, production will likely be LA or NYC.
Production: I will direct and produce the finished short
Goal: Make something genuinely great and festival-caliber.
happy to pay a small stipend for the collaboration.
