Introduce Yourself : Seeking co-writer/producer for QABIL (Think Succession meets Shogun in ancient East Africa) by Abdirauf Osman

Hey everyone, just joined Stage 32.

I’ve spent months building a world and just finished a solid TV series treatment. The project is called QABIL/KABIL. It’s basically Succession family/clan warfare mixed with the honor-bound, brutal political weight of Shogun, but set entirely in the ancient Horn of Africa (palaces, water wars, and corrupt sultans).

The core story follows a lower-caste girl fighting a system that legally counts her as a "fraction" (half a human being), and her rise to become queen. There’s a massive psychological ticking clock involving a bag of blood-money and a huge lie, so the dramatic tension is built to last for seasons.

I have the entire story arc and mythology locked down, but I want to bring in a sharp co-writer to help attack the 60-page pilot and nail the dialogue. If you are a writer looking for a unique, high-concept world to co-create in, or an independent producer looking for something completely fresh, this is for you.

Let’s skip the small talk. If you want to jump into the world-building, look at the treatment, or talk collaboration, drop a comment or hit me up directly.

Let's make something cool.
