Documentary Pre-Production Producer Needed
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
I’m developing a documentary and need an experienced producer to guide me through the entire pre-production phase. The concept is set, but I want to ensure the groundwork is rock-solid before cameras roll.
Key support I’m looking for:
• Research & Development – Help refine the core narrative, identify compelling angles, locate credible sources, and gather archival material or data that will strengthen the story.
• Scriptwriting – Turn the research into a concise treatment and a working documentary script/outline, complete with interview questions and scene breakdowns.
• Location Scouting – Recommend and, where possible, pre-verify filming locations that visually reinforce the storyline, noting any permits or local regulations we’ll need.
I’d value someone who can:
• Create a clear pre-production timeline with milestones.
• Flag potential legal or logistical hurdles early.
• Collaborate smoothly via Zoom, Google Docs, or similar cloud tools.
• Present deliverables in clean, professional formats (e.g., treatment PDF, shooting outline in Final Draft or Word, location brief with photos/maps).
* Pitch to TV networks.
If you have a track record in documentary work—especially investigative or human-interest pieces—please tell me about relevant projects, your specific role, and how you approached research and scripting. Links to previous films, sizzle reels, or writing samples will help me gauge fit.
I’m ready to start immediately and am happy to clarify any details once we’re in contact. Let’s build a strong foundation for a powerful documentary together.
