SCRIPTWRITER WANTED – ORIGINAL ANIMATED SERIES Position: Scriptwriter / Screenwriter Project: Independent Animated Series Location: Remote (Open to International Collaborators) Experience: Beginners and Experienced Writers Welcome Compensation: Unpaid Collaboration (For Now) ABOUT THE PROJECT Hello! I'm a 17-year-old Nigerian aspiring filmmaker, creator and director currently developing an original animated series. I'm looking for a creative, passionate and dedicated scriptwriter to collaborate with me and help bring this project to life. The series follows six teenage girls navigating friendship, school, music, relationships, personal struggles and supernatural adventures. The story explores themes of friendship, identity, personal growth, secrets, fantasy and the challenges of growing up, while incorporating supernatural abilities, magical elements, mysterious forces, otherworldly conflicts and an interconnected fictional universe. I'm looking for someone who enjoys creating compelling stories, developing interesting characters and building fictional worlds. CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS The project draws inspiration from several animated franchises, particularly: - Winx Club - LoliRock - W.I.T.C.H. - Sailor Moon - Totally Spies! - Bratz - Ever After High - Monster High I'm particularly drawn to their fantasy elements, supernatural themes, friendship dynamics, character development, fashion, humour, adventures and storytelling. However, the goal is to create an entirely original animated series with its own characters, mythology, universe and identity. RESPONSIBILITIES The selected writer will collaborate with me on: - Developing episode scripts and storylines. - Writing engaging dialogue and character interactions. - Developing character personalities, relationships and individual story arcs. - Creating interesting conflicts and plot twists. - Helping develop the supernatural elements and mythology of the series. - Structuring episodes and overarching season storylines. - Participating in brainstorming sessions and creative discussions. - Maintaining consistency throughout the series.

Previous screenwriting experience is welcome, but beginners with potential and enthusiasm are encouraged to apply. ABOUT THE DIRECTOR I'm 17 years old and based in Nigeria. I'm an aspiring filmmaker with a strong interest in animation, directing, storytelling and worldbuilding. I'll be handling the overall creative direction and directing of the project. I'm hoping to find a writer who can work alongside me, contribute creatively and help transform the concepts and ideas into well-structured episode scripts. COMPENSATION & COLLABORATION This is currently an independent passion project without external funding. Therefore, the position is unpaid at this stage, and future compensation cannot be guaranteed. Creative credits, responsibilities, script ownership and intellectual property arrangements will be discussed and agreed upon before collaboration begins. HOW TO APPLY If you're interested, please provide: 1. A brief introduction about yourself. 2. Your writing or screenwriting experience. 3. Previous writing samples, if available. 4. Why you're interested in the project. 5. Your availability for remote collaboration. You can contact me through Indie Crew. I'm excited to connect with other creatives who share a passion for animation and storytelling. Hopefully, we can build something wonderful together! Thank you for your interest!
