Hey Everyone! new to the site and I figured I'd throw out a dilemma Im having with a project.
To kick off this year, I produced a spec pilot for a potential series. It's currently in post-production.
Think of it as a fusion of "Game of Thrones" and "The Hunger Games," sans the food competition aspect. Log-Line: In a realm plagued by conflict and scarcity, the Planters of the Gardener-a secret society of rebels-strive to overthrow their respective oppressive kingdoms.
Any insights or ideas? gone through a multitude of things but open to learning something new. We believe in the potential of this series, and are eager to find the right partners to bring it to that potential.

Not personally something I’d watch, but sounds interesting anyway! If you’re asking for critique of the longline, I’d say it needs more explanation of why the kingdoms are oppressive, but that’s just me!

Idea feels too complex, too much Time developing, and too expensive for a corporation to fund your idea.
Whats your track record of creating a world similar to Hunger Games/GoT?
The dude who created Squid Game tv series waited like ten years for funding and he directed the number 1 movie box office hit in Korea.

Hi, Atkin - do you have a screener link or a clip you can share? That would probably be easiest way to offer useful feedback. It sounds like you've already shot all/most of it?

Hey Dan, the reference was more tone/story - the scale is definitely smaller although it is a Medieval period piece with a few fantasy elements. the show itself does have the potential to be a large-scale tv series. The Tv Pilot we produced wasn't cheap, but did it in a way that worked really well we think. No track record of creating anything at the scale of GOT or anything that close to it, but this certainly doesn't need to be anywhere near that scale.
Hi Christopher, we have a proposal up on Decentralized Pictures that has a bunch of info and a preliminary teaser that got put together. here's the link: https://app.decentralized.pictures/proposal/6458697659f5cf367c03f992

I like the concept, Atkin Korkis. I'd watch the show. I think you should use "It's GAME OF THRONES meets THE HUNGER GAMES" when you pitch the show.
I agree with Zachary Lee Antle ("I’d say it needs more explanation of why the kingdoms are oppressive").
Fair points, I'm actually very curious to hear others' thoughts as well and see what else could be better, I posted in the logline page: https://www.stage32.com/profile/1074090/Screenplay/Raymar?ref=search
Thanks!
Atkin thanks for share, your proposal doc is awesome.
Thank you Kamil!
Atkin Korkis Seems like you're almost ready to show the show! What sort of feedback are you looking for?

Hey Langley, I’m looking to see if anyone has advice or has experience with producing a pilot on spec and selling it. Whats a good way to go about it, besides what I know and will be trying out.
