droll
droll is an experiment in getting original films made.
We know it’s hard enough to write an undeniable screenplay. Getting someone to read it is even harder. Your best friend included.
We’re testing a simple idea: that more filmmakers would get noticed if the industry had something to watch, and not just another thing to read.
So we help turn scripts and ideas into proof-of-concept films.
We’re not a traditional studio or a lab. Studios finance big films, and sometimes smaller ones too. Labs can help develop your script, but they rarely help you shoot it.
droll starts there.
The goal isn't to make filmmaking easy. It's to give more filmmakers a real shot — less waiting for permission, more making the thing.
We are searching for our first horror short to shoot this fall in North Texas.

We’re testing a simple idea: that more filmmakers would get noticed if the industry had something to watch, instead of just another 120 page screenplay to read.
So we help turn ideas into proof-of-concept short films, then put those films in front of the buyers, producers, and distributors who can actually do something with them.
