Creative Room

Rooms on
live projects.

Each room takes one discipline and one problem from a project already running. Rooms are announced here with their own brief.

Animation Writers Room

Bhoot Bazaar has a market, a set of ghosts, and no third act. The animatic plays until the moment the boy realises what he has bought, and then it stops, because we do not yet know what he does about it.

The Labs part

How an idea
moves here.

The same four steps, whatever the project is.

Step one

Shape it

What it is and who for. A screenplay, a business plan.

Step two

Build a piece of it

A scene, a pitch or a prototype — enough to validate.

Step three

Put it in front of people

Decision makers and others, to get feedback.

Step four

Take it on, or drop it

It goes ahead with a partner, is funded in-house, or waits.

Open invitation

Other people's
ideas, welcome.

Submissions are open. If one aligns, it can go through the same four steps and get built further, with us coming in as a partner on terms agreed with you in writing.

How it works

  • A paragraph is enough. No deck.
  • You hear back either way, with a reason.
  • If it fits, terms in writing before anyone starts.
  • From there we work out together how far it can go.
