🎬 Looking for a Film Producer – Feature Film Silence 🎬 I’m looking for a dedicated producer to be my co-pilot in bringing my future feature film Silence to life. Tagline: A war breaks out on another continent, and an international security expert tries to figure out where he went wrong in his optimistic predictions – but there’s only silence around him. The film is planned to run 60 minutes. Originally I thought it would be a short film, but a careful breakdown of the script shows it needs a feature format for the story to breathe. Proof of Concept Before we go into full production, I’ll be shooting a proof of concept – one complete scene from the script. I’m planning to use one specific scene because it has no spoilers, yet it’s emotional, challenging, and powerful. It involves one actor in one location but requires complex production elements and very precise direction and acting. This scene will run 5–10 minutes, and it works as a standalone short film with a clear exposition, strong middle, and thought-provoking ending. If it’s shot to the standard I’m aiming for, it could be included unchanged in the final feature. About Me I immigrated to New Zealand from Russia in 2020 at the age of 34, having previously lobbied for healthcare, working at university and having engineering and economics&management degrees. However, I wanted to make films from an early age, which was a family taboo. In 2023 I wrote, produced, and directed the short film Relocation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kax3OypicPY , and independently organised its public screening at Reading Cinemas Dunedin as part of the Dunedin Short Film Screening - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4iVXbNxuro . It sold out, with paying audiences and coverage in the Otago Daily Times - https://www.odt.co.nz/the-star/spotlight-otago-film-makers . In 2025, I produced for the first time a project written and directed by someone else – when my team A48 and I joined the 48 Hours Film Festival. About you It would be great if you have producing experience – if so, I’d love to see your work. But it’s also fine if you’re just starting out. We could grow together, as long as you’re committed. A few important notes: - Producing should be your main focus – not directing or acting (at least not in this project). - Please check out these resources if you’re new: -- Stages of Film Production - https://www.studiobinder.com/blog/stages-of-film-production/ -- What Does a Producer Do? - https://www.studiobinder.com/blog/what-does-a-producer-do/ I already have a potential actor and location for the proof of concept. For the full feature, the script has 19 scenes, 9 locations, 5 speaking roles and ~30 non-speaking roles. Although I’m the writer and director, I may also be actively involved in some producing elements (funding, distribution, marketing, and festival outreach). But as producer, your vision and input will be central – you should feel free to ask questions at every stage, and I’ll do the same. I would like to do this project with a combination of funding and profit share - both should be fair for every participant. The script of the feature film is under development - I am just expanding the explanation of the current short film script and also thinking about expansion of one of the layers (that might increase the quantity of scenes). I would love to hear your thoughts on both in your role of producer - it should be your project as well, not just mine. I currently live in Christchurch, but lived in Dunedin for 5 years and would be happy to meet people all over the country. 👉 If you’re interested, please DM me. 👉 Tag anyone who might be keen.
