Writer Wanted for Realistic Post-Apocalyptic Universe

Writer Wanted for Realistic Post-Apocalyptic Universe


(auto-translated from Dutch)

We are developing a grounded post-apocalyptic narrative project focused on the human side of rebuilding society after a large-scale global catastrophe.
The story explores themes such as:
leadership under extreme pressure
moral dilemmas during societal reconstruction
the balance between security and freedom
the personal cost of difficult decisions
The project is currently in development with short narrative pieces that build the tone and world of the story.
The goal is to gradually expand toward larger narrative productions over time.

What do we offer?
We offer the opportunity to collaborate on an ambitious narrative project that is currently in development.
The project is planned to grow through:
short narrative films
online microshort releases
potential festival submissions
This is currently an early-stage collaboration, ideal for writers who want to build experience, develop material, and be part of a long-term creative project.
You will be working within a small motivated team developing the project step by step.

slow-burn storytelling

Job requirements / profile
The writer will mainly contribute to:
developing character arcs
writing realistic dialogue
helping shape personal stakes and emotional tension in scenes

Collaboration will happen mainly through discussion, script drafts and feedback sessions.
