How to get foreign clients?

So, I am a producer-fixer from India and in this business for a decade now. Pre-covid, lives were smoother and I would get multiple shoot enquiries all year round.

In 2026, I am working a variety of writing projects that include 2-3 novella series and short stories along with a few short film scripts I have put off for some time now. Plan is to self-publish before or by September 2026.

Take my short film to production and get more shoots under my company. Things get tough as a freelancer and need some solid work to justify the decision of quitting my day job. Haha.

Famous Scenes from the Other Side

Have you ever wondered what a famous movie scene would be like from the other side?

How about the lobby shootout in The Martix from the security guards' side? You're going against two (essentially) superheroes that wipe out your squad in what must be about 30 seconds. The scripted action scene is abo...

Hey, Michael Dzurak. I haven't, but it could be fun, and that's a great way to come up with script ideas and scene ideas. Thanks for the idea.

Michael Dzurak

Disney's and inspiration

One reason I want to work with Disney is because I grew up with them. They were one of the factors in my childhood that I held onto and would like to contribute to them. Plus, I can relate to many of their characters, in dreaming and in valuing hard work and enjoying life. So please if anyone can he...
