Hello there, my name is Justin and I'm filmmaker out of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I've got a short film I wrote, directed and edited called Wrestling with the Past that is just starting its festival run. I thought I'd come on here and see if I can make any connections to people that would be interested in helping me take this short to the next level: an ongoing series. Check out the trailer!

Hi Shellie Schmals!! Thanks for the advice, I'm definitely still figuring out the lay of the land here! I'm mostly looking for an experienced producer or production company to partner with, so we can pitch it to some platforms! Or an agent to help me get in the door to the right people to pitch this thing. I have some meetings booked up here in Canada, but I'll still need a bigger production house. My own company just isn't at the level to do it all... yet.

Welcome to the community, Justin Godlien. Wow, great trailer and poster! They have that 80's vibe. I can definitely see it as a series. Looking forward to seeing the film when it's available (and the series).
