Creative Process

This story started as a grounded sci-fi concept with a locked-room mystery twist. We worked closely with the author to develop a screenplay that kept the world realistic while making the mystery engaging. The focus was on tone, tension, and worldbuilding that felt lived-in rather than futuristic. We also supported the author in learning how to pitch the story directly, without needing an agent. The result is a well-paced, character-driven mystery in a fresh setting.
