"They say, write about what you know. I don't just know the battlefield; I feel it the way my brain rebuilt itself after six concussions.
My name is Vladimir Skorokhod, my call sign on the front lines, fighting for Ukraine against Putin's bastards, is Novak, and I am the author of Call Sign: Valensi. "Dancing with Life." This isn't just another fictional war story. It's the transformation of real combat experience, pain, and a unique perspective on justice into a cinematic narrative.
Plot: Valensi is not a typical hero. He is a man who saw the rot in the system and decided to fight back, using the only language understood by politicians and influential people—the language of force. This is a harsh, dark, and deeply psychological journey of a man living on the edge, because the edge is the only place where truth remains.
Why it's a goldmine for producers:
Authenticity: In a world of polished action films, Valensi delivers the gritty reality of a man who actually lived through... "Walking Through Fire." Sensory detail, psychological shifts, and tactical realism are impossible to fake.
Post-concussion Perception: My personal experience with six explosive injuries has given me a unique way of describing perception, adrenaline, and the "battle brain"—a visual gift for any director seeking a new cinematic language.
Franchise Potential: This is just the beginning. A sequel plan is already in place. We're creating a universe around a character as conflicted and captivating as the antiheroes of Sicario or The Punisher.
Global Theme: The theme of a lone warrior fighting a corrupt political machine is relevant today, worldwide.
Who I'm looking for: I don't need a handout. I need a visionary partner—a producer or investor—who understands that the next multi-million dollar franchise won't emerge from a Los Angeles script lab, but will be based on the personal experiences of those who survived... Impossible.
If you want to create something that can rival the groundbreaking projects of our time, if you need a story that captures the soul of a survivor and the precision of a soldier—let's talk. The rights to the first book are available, and our vision for the future is ambitious.
Let's create something great together. Contact me via private message or here.

Thanks, I'll try.
You're welcome, Volodimir Skorokhod. You could post about your book on your profile. Producers search profiles for projects. That and networking are how I sold four short scripts to a producer. Click the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and select “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu. Scroll down to “Loglines” and click “Add/edit loglines” to the right of “Loglines.” You can also post about your book on your profile this way: www.stage32.com/loglines (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”)

Welcome, Volodimir Skorokhod. Thanks for sharing this, it’s clear this story comes from real experience, not theory.
What really stands out is your focus on perception after trauma and how that shapes Valensi. That “battle brain” angle feels especially strong for film, because it offers something visual and psychological that most war stories don’t touch.
The way you frame justice — as something broken, not idealized — gives the character real weight. Valensi sounds like an antihero driven by clarity rather than comfort, which is always compelling.
Wishing you success with the book and in finding the right creative partners. This feels like a story that could translate powerfully to the screen.
