Pitch us
Bring us something unhinged and well made.
We are reading vertical series, talking to brands about integration, and speaking with platforms about the slate. Three doors — pick the one that fits.
01
Writers & creators
Original vertical series. We want a strong hook, a clean engine that can run for dozens of episodes, and a voice that is actually yours.

Brands
Integration written into the story rather than bolted onto it. Refinery has made brand-led productions for seventeen years; the vertical slate is built for it.

Platforms & distributors
Licensing, territory partnerships and co-production across the slate.

Keep it short.
Obviously.
- Logline
- One sentence. If it needs two, the hook is not sharp enough yet.
- Synopsis
- One page. The world, the lead, what they want, and what is standing on it.
- First three beats
- Episodes one to three, beat by beat. We need to see how the engine restarts each time.
- Why vertical
- A line or two on why this story is better in a vertical frame than a wide one. Most pitches skip this question.
- Format
- PDF, please. Tell us whether it is written, part-written, or still an idea.
We read everything that follows the format above. We cannot promise a fast reply, and we cannot accept unsolicited full scripts on first contact.
