I’m looking for a producing partner with a comedy mindset who understands micro-budget feature films and brings strong financing and distribution relationships.” Financing” – the word that makes writers like me cringe. Most producers I’ve met don’t like the F-word either.
I value someone strategic, resourceful, collaborative, and honest.
I bring an award-winning script, a clear creative vision, regional support, and relentless determination to get the doggone film made and seen.
In return, I’m offering mutual respect, and the opportunity to laugh (a lot) while partnering to make a funny, female-led feature with commercial and emotional appeal.

Debbie Seagle So you convert your book into a screenplay, or do you have a separate script?

Shahzad Haider I converted my book into a screenplay, but the book is a self-help memoir - so I made the script a story with a lot more action and comedy (and a little Rom Com).

Debbie Seagle For me, the most important quality is trust. I want a producing partner who believes in the story but also isn't afraid to challenge it when something can be improved. I value honest communication, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to bringing the best version of the film to life. The strongest partnerships, in my opinion, aren't built on always agreeing they're built on solving problems together while keeping the same vision in mind. Wishing you the best in finding the right producing partner for your film!
Hi Debbie. Where will the feature be shot? Where would your producer operate ideally?
Trust
Depends. I was part of making three shorts; for the first it was believe, for the second it was communication; for the third it was patiens. For a possible fourth, I don't know. For a feature I"m working on getting produced, it's connections and trust, and all of the others.
