True story project with strong commercial and development potential

Hi Jack,

I came across your work at FilmBudget and your experience in structuring and evaluating film projects.

I’m currently developing a project based on a real case in Germany involving a prison death under disputed circumstances. The story combines elements of true crime, investigative drama, and strong emotional core.

From both a creative and market perspective, I see clear potential for development within the current demand for grounded, real-life narratives.

At this stage, I’m looking to understand how a project like this could be positioned, structured, and evaluated from a production and financing standpoint.

If this aligns with your interest, I would be glad to share a concise overview.

Best regards,

Joulia

Your project sounds really compelling, especially with its grounding in a real case and investigative angle. When you’re thinking about positioning it, are you leaning more toward a feature or a limited series format?
