Imagine if there were a studio dedicated to original ideas. No sequels. No spinoffs. No repeat collaborations. Each project such a one-off, it defies genre & medium - but not explanation - because whilst we spend most of our time breaking rules, there is one rule we always stick to:
If it canβt be pitched in one sentence to a stranger in a pub,
we wonβt make it.
But that doesnβt mean our stories are simple - far from it.
High Concept projects are genre-bending, medium-melting works of wild speculation - it just so happens theyβre also clear, captivating, and commercially minded,
i.e. tell great stories, live to tell a few more.
Right now weβre looking for future collaborators - High Concept is a creative collaboration studio, so weβre not looking for auteurs. Also, please do not send any ideas, we have a very specific process for idea cultivation which means weβre not looking for fully formed projects and we will not be reading scripts/proposals. Every new project is crafted in-house and treated like a homegrown experiment. We love your passion for your own project, but there will be other homes for that story.
Working with us will be a different kind of adventure and weβre currently looking for showreels from Directors, writing samples from Screenwriters, Novelists and Poets as well as submissions from Artists, coders & all other creed of creator.
Fill in the form below to submit examples of your work.
High Concept is an imprint of HYPERREAL and weβre not focused on one single media. Whilst there will be films, there will also be stories told through the medium of theatre, Fine Art, experiential, metaverse applications, and media not even invented yet. This is the storytelling equivalent of the Wild West - even we donβt know what weβre going to do next.
DEBUT SLATE
DEBUT SLATE
SQUEEGE
Single-take drone thriller all set on a window cleaners platform. Think Uncut Gems x Agnes Varda, halfway up a tower block in Leeds.
DUPPY
A malevolent spirit invades the Blue Peter studio, trapping a group of girl guides inside as their gruesome fate is broadcast to the world. Carrie x Host x Blue Peter = Duppy.
DICE NIGHT
Improvised theatre show - each nights performance dictated by the roll of a dice. Think βThe Play That Goes Wrongβ x βA Clockwork Orangeβ.
