About the job

This is not paid. I am looking for an ambitious person who likes small budgets and to develop ideas. The premise is a squatter's paradise and the entanglements that come from this kind of community. Do you have an interest in creating a variety of characters who are very different from who you and I are? I have a real life setting that I think has great potential. Again, this is at the level of let's see if we can create something for fun, yet with the intention to complete it. The characters will be generally off the radar, anti establishment types. Since this is just developing, there is no location requirement. I'm open to ideas and working with good people. POSITIVE vibes always please. No roadblocks. MUST be within a workable time zone to eastern USA.


Here is a potential extended logline to give you an idea of the track I'm on. 

People say living in American is freedom. 

It isn't.

This... is freedom.

No electicity, no government, and nobody is turned away. 

Claim your spot, and live your life... off the grid. 

Slab City. The snowbirds and the squatters.

A miniseries about a squatter's paradise an those who live there. 

Some of my influences are Rob Zombie, Rob Reiner, David Lynch, David Chase, Ben Stiller. 

This is based on the Slab City CA squatter's paradise and building a show around that. I have visited there extensively and it deserves a story.
