Prestige TV Pilot & Story bible
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m developing a limited-series concept that blends the frontier grit of 1883 with the head-spinning timelines of Westworld and the quiet dread of Dark. The story unfolds almost entirely in a remote rural countryside where an ancient artifact bends reality through its own “Occult Logic.”
Here’s what I need from you:
• A 60-page, prestige-style pilot script that captures the bleak beauty of open ranchland while plunging viewers straight into supernatural unease.
• A series bible that maps eight episodes in detail—character backstories and season-long arcs, a clear breakdown of how the artifact’s rules govern the world, and a beat-sheet that shows major turns, reversals, and cliff-hangers.
Atmosphere and occult mythology carry the show, so I’m looking for rich symbolism, grounded folk horror, and lore that can hold up to close fan scrutiny. Character motivations should feel authentic to the period and locale, yet surprising as the artifact’s influence warps their choices.
There’s no hard deadline; I value depth and polish over speed. We can set milestones for outline, first draft, revisions, and final polish so neither of us rush creativity. If prestige drama, rural horror, and layered occult world-building are your strengths, I’d love to see a short sample or a produced credit that proves you can marry haunting imagery with compelling dialogue.
