Content

This is a really exciting project being developed both as a feature film and a vertical series, with strong cinematic crossover potential in mind. Unlike traditional vertical content, the project will be shot both vertically and horizontally, allowing it to exist not only on-platform, but also within the independent film and festival space as well.

The creative vision leans more toward elevated indie character dramas than conventional mobile-first storytelling, with a strong focus on performance and emotionally grounded filmmaking.

Synopsis: An impassioned director finally steps onto the set of her first feature, shooting at a large estate in the English countryside. As she navigates the pressures of production, her own self-destructive tendencies begin to surface. When close quarters, emotional entanglements, and revelations about her past threaten to unravel the project, she’s forced to confront why she’s making this film — and what she’s willing to sacrifice to finish it.

Roles Details

Title

Oliver

Content

Ellie’s estranged older brother and an outsider to the film world who suddenly finds himself pulled into the production’s financial and emotional fallout. Controlled, pragmatic, quietly bitter. Oliver spent years distancing himself from the chaos that consumed his family, building a stable life far removed from art and performance.

Beneath his cynicism is unresolved grief and resentment toward the sister he feels abandoned him long ago. Initially viewing the production as reckless self-destruction, Oliver slowly becomes seduced by the strange magic of filmmaking — forcing him to reconsider both Ellie and the life he chose for himself.
