The Early Room · Open call

The next wave
of stories isn’t
coming from
Hollywood.

The best scripts are not sitting on studio shelves. Hollywood has opted to play it safe instead of betting on original stories, so we’re taking the big swings they won’t. If you’ve got an idea, we want to bet on you.

FAQ

Common questions

What is Early Media? What do we do?

+
Early Media is creating and distributing groundbreaking original series. We craft narratives with viral potential while preserving the heart of indie production, telling meaningful stories audiences actually care about. Every creative decision is sharpened by a proprietary testing and marketing engine that collapses the distance between filmmaker and audience into the tightest iteration loop in the industry.

What will we do with your treatment?

+
Once you have submitted your materials, someone from our team will review and consider it for development. If chosen, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with a group of creators and indie filmmakers and turn your treatment into a vertical series designed for global audiences.

How long will it take to receive a response?

+
We aim to respond to all submissions within 30 days. If we receive a sudden influx of submissions, there may be a delay.

What happens next?

+
If we want to explore producing your story, we’ll pay you for a consideration period and start a conversation with you about that process to make sure we’re the right partners for your story.

If we don’t think your treatment fits, we’ll notify you within 30 days and delete your treatment from our database. We won’t retain your submission, and will never use it for data collection or any other purpose.
