The Role
We’re looking for a Researcher / Scriptwriter
You’ll dig into cold cases, unsolved crimes, and lesser-known stories, and turn them into scripts. This isn’t just about writing, it’s about story architecture. You’ll know what makes a strong script.
What You'll Be Doing
- 📚 Deep Research
- Pitch and develop original true crime stories and angles that have not been covered
- Research via case files, court documents, books, forums, podcasts
- Fact-check rigorously, accuracy is non-negotiable
- Approach every story with empathy and editorial care
