01 · The offer

Most producers have taste. Few have the Eye.

I spent twenty years greenlighting hits and killing expensive mistakes. Now I bring that judgment to your slate - scoring, developing and packaging projects that actually sell. The scarce thing is knowing which stories become hits - and putting them in front of investors and the market with conviction. That's the eye.

02 · Twenty years in the room

The track record
under every frame.

Award-winning film producer Ex-Head of Originals at ivi.ru — the Netflix of the CIS Creator of 30+ TV shows
20+Years inside the rooms that decide

03 · What changes

What changes
when I'm in.

IJudgment

Industry
judgment.

Which stories actually convert - not which simply read well. The call a model can't make and most dev execs get wrong.

IIDe-risk

IPH
hit score.

Every project scored for hit potential before you spend a dollar - a number you can carry into the room and the raise.

IIIFranchise

Franchise &
packaging.

Built for the 25-year licensing tail from page one, and shipped sales-ready with pitch deck and teaser brief. Your front-end, solved.

04 · The method

Development
at factory speed.

This isn't AI generating ideas. It's twenty years of taste, run like a factory floor - a fresh batch of high-concepts every day, each one scored on IPH, and only the single strongest survives into development.

20High-concepts authored every day
1Advances to development each day
120Concepts a week at the top of the funnel
10KSynthetic viewers each concept is tested against

The moat isn't a model - it's taste, a trained eye, business logic and deep analytics, run at speed. Anyone can prompt a model for a hundred loglines; the output is noise. The scarce act is the judgment to know which one of the 120 is the franchise — and the analytics to prove it before a dollar moves.

Before anything advances, every concept is pressure-tested against 10,000 synthetic viewers - my own audience-simulation layer - so the pick is demand-tested, not just an opinion. A new approach to development: not AI production, but velocity and quality grounded in a lifetime of knowing what works.

Twenty years of taste.At the speed of a factory.

05 · The scoring engine

IPH - the eye,
made a score.

The Index of Historical Potential: my original framework that measures whether a story can last, not just perform. Five tiers, 10 parameters, 31 sub-criteria - applied to every concept before a dollar is spent.

i

Philosophical

Is there an idea underneath big enough to outlive the moment?

ii

Narrative

A clear want, a real engine, true stakes, an irreversible turn?

iii

Visual

A singular, ownable visual language and an iconic image?

iv

Emotional

A universal nerve — working on two layers at once, kids and adults?

v

Cultural

A live social demand, a white space, and reach that travels globally?

06 · How it works

You own the library.

Project by project - no retainers, no salaries. You pay per package and own the library outright: a development fee plus a share of what the hits return. I win only when you win.
