If you would like to pitch an idea to Guru Studio, we’d like to hear from you. We are looking to develop new properties for animation and seek writers and creators with a focus on humour and clever subtext.

What we are looking for:

  • original ideas for long format series
  • strong character driven stories
  • projects for any audience

What we are not looking for:

  • short films
  • documentaries
  • reality shows
  • game shows

Once you are ready, you will need to include the following information with your submission:

  1. Your Name.
  2. Your Contact Information including your email and phone number. Please also note those of your agent or business manager if you have one.
  3. A brief description about you e.g., who you are, what you do to keep busy and/or make a living, your motivation. (By “brief” we mean between 5-10 sentences. We look forward to getting to know your fascinating self in greater detail if we select your submission.)
  4. A 1-3 page treatment that includes a summary of your show concept and what makes it unique.
  5. Indicate if any creative or financial personnel are attached or if any broadcasters have seen this proposal.
