He will contact the background actors to check your availability and confirm filming dates, and will also respond to your questions as quickly as he can.

My writing partner and I just completed a 9 part mini-series, and we have serious interest from a group in Europe. They have asked us to complete storyboards for the series. I am putting the job out to bid. As I said, it is a 9 part series (9 scripts), averaging 110 pages per script.

The genre is historical fiction / WWII.

Please email me at [email protected] if you are interested, and put "Storyboards" in the subject line. You will be required to complete a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) prior to any specific information being sent out.

We have a "Prospectus" that includes the 1-Sheet, Synopsis, Treatment, and Character Breakdown.

For consideration, I will need:
1) The total amount you will charge;
2) Time frame for completion;
3) Sample of your work.

All inquiries will be sent to Europe for final consideration.

Thanks,

Cliff

I need an illustrator to create storyboards for a short, 4 minute, trailer for a mini-series dealing with Germany at the end of WW II through the Berlin Airlift. Your location is not a problem, as long as you can provide the storyboards in person or via the internet.

This is NOT a paid position at this time, but if the mini-series is picked up, I will provide payment to the illustrator.

FYI, everyone associated with this project will be required to sign a standard NDA prior to any information being divulged.

Inquire at [email protected] Please put "story boards" in the subject line.
