Development is where every Indie Matter project begins. Before a frame is shot, a film must earn its place on the page — and that takes directors who understand story architecture, screenwriters who can sustain a world across ninety pages, and script editors who know how to push material without breaking it. At an independent company like ours, the development process is close and collaborative. There are no committees and no agenda beyond making the work as strong as possible. We develop original screenplays from scratch — no IP, no adaptations. If you are a development professional who thrives in that kind of environment, we want to hear from you. Roles in this department cover the full creative development arc from initial concept through to production-ready draft.

FAQ

What kinds of projects are in development at Indie Matter?

Original feature films and short films exclusively. Our slate focuses on character-driven stories. We do not develop adaptations, sequels, or IP-based projects.

Do you work with emerging talent or only established names?

Both. We assess the work itself first. Strong material and a clear creative point of view matter more than credits.
