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?
