FEATURE FILM (NARRTIVE)

Protagonist is currently most interested in coming on board projects at script stage, with a director attached. We’re focused on elevated genre and propulsive storytelling, led by both established and upcoming filmmakers with a singular vision. We’d especially love to find a taught thriller, absorbing romance as well as comedies of any kind, with a particular look out for projects with AUS-UK co-production structures.
