NOTE
— As you’ve seen, there’s a lot of work to do and funds to raise for a production. The intention in advertising roles at this early stage is to identify key cast and crew members now and to take time during fundraising to familiarize with ideas for the series, the roles, the objectives and with each other. That way, if and when sufficient funding is available, we’ll have already built the relationships and the knowledge to be more ready to roll on production. If that’s okay with you, please send word to studiotar@icloud.com, with the desired role as subject. Thank you for considering the project!

NOTES
— The lack of character breakdowns is intentional. While characters have been written a certain way to start, we expect changes in profiles and arcs after final casting. We’ll look for people first, who meet the general age and cultural preferences, and reshape the final characters and scripts, as needed, around the selected actors.
— Pay rates can be agreed upon now, as established within the target budget. … For production dates, it’s all to be determined. Since there’s no restrictions, a future, filming window can be decided upon in collaboration with the main cast and crew players. … Travel and housing are included, so applicants from anywhere are welcome.
Dept. HeadS
Producer (Production) — Help set the stage for the series.
During fundraising, hold discussions on the creative and logistical goals for the project, such as filming location, cast and crew, budgeting and other, production targets. Post funding, would lead on finalizing location(s) and building up networks and resources there. Would also help scout/hire remaining department heads/crew and build gear inventory among other projects.
Producer (Strategy) — Help set the playbook for the series.
During fundraising, consult on ideas for outreach and review material for website/platform, plus discuss future ideas for branding, social and distribution. Post funding, would lead on social media, advertising, events and building up the platform (website) for continued engagement and steaming. Could also help cultivate distribution partnerships with other territories.
Casting Director — Help find (and shape) the main players.
During fundraising, offer limited help in finding the main cast by reviewing self-tapes and joining some interviews or readings. Post funding, lead the search for supporting cast members and featured, guest actors. Plus, help with the development of the main and supporting casts, including organizing rehearsals and tracking other, character work or training, per actor, as needed.
Art/Design Director — Help define the series.
During fundraising, work on a per-piece basis for artwork for the website and promotional material. Items could include illustrations, graphics and also input on user experience at-large. Also, discuss ideas for future artwork for episodes and other campaigns. Post funding, continue to build out the series branding with updating works for site, streaming (text), advertising, merchandise, and more.
NOTES
— Through Summer 2026, any work on the project would be conversations on goals for departments and the project at large. Calls would be once every 6-8 weeks, then, in the Summer, we’d review the outlook for the project and if there’s resources for more involvement.
