Producer – experimental horror (remote) - a job post by Jakub Skřivan

About the job

CLINICAL ISOLATION is a four-part psychological horror project designed to turn the viewing experience itself into part of the horror. Rather than relying primarily on conventional jump scares or slasher mechanics, the films progressively manipulate the audience through psychological suggestion, sensory discomfort, fear conditioning, sound design, prolonged silence, visual misdirection and direct interaction through an AI voice.

Across four interconnected films, the concept evolves from psychological manipulation of the audience into increasingly immersive territory. Film I establishes the rules and begins dismantling the viewer's sense of safety and trust in their own reactions. Film II uses repeated first-person imagery and contrasting sound to create an experimental conditioning experience. Film III places the audience directly into the position of a restrained victim through a sustained first-person perspective, using phobias and somatic suggestion to make the viewer increasingly aware of their own body. Film IV concludes the tetralogy through a cryptographic epilogue that reveals the underlying narrative connecting the previous films.

All four English-language screenplays are complete.

The tetralogy has been conceived for a consolidated back-to-back production model. Films I and III share key locations and production elements, Film II relies on highly controlled minimalist material, and Film IV requires no conventional principal photography and is designed to be created entirely in post-production. This structure is intended to reduce repeated location, equipment, crew and logistical costs while maintaining continuity across the complete project.

My preliminary target budget is approximately €150,000 for all four films combined, subject to professional budgeting and development.

I am currently seeking a PRODUCER / PRODUCING PARTNER to join the project at the development stage and help move CLINICAL ISOLATION toward financing and production. I am particularly interested in working with someone who understands independent genre filmmaking and can contribute experience in professional budgeting, packaging and production strategy, but most importantly has relevant industry relationships and can actively help identify, approach and connect the project with potential private investors, financiers, production companies or other financing partners.

The project is currently unfunded. This is therefore not a salaried crew position on an already-financed production, but an opportunity for a producer interested in becoming involved in the development and financing of the project.

I am open to working with the right producing partner regardless of location.

Full screenplays and additional project information are available for serious enquiries.
