Screen Rights

Last updated September 19, 2026
Six to eight episodes. Completed pilot script. Memoir in progress as underlying IP; proposal and sample chapters available. Documentary and podcast lanes also open.
Life rights + memoir + supervised archive access from a single contact. An archive of more than 500 documents (144 family originals, 1941 to 2019; about 200 press items, 1959 to 1966; the Swiss state records). Ninety-five-second teaser cut from the family archive and period footage.
Washington, Caracas, Zurich, 1965. Convent schools and coffee fortunes, oil-boom Venezuela, multilingual press. Built for international co-production.
A seventeen-year-old heiress vanishes from Washington twenty-six days before inheriting a $10 million estate, resurfaces in Caracas married and holding a newborn, and the family never collects the money. The Washington Post put her on the front page.
See the comps: Inventing Anna (prestige true story), The Dropout (archive-driven structure), classic missing-heiress cases with a reversed mystery.
Other lanes
The archive is the spine. Primary documents in four languages, a living rights holder who will sit for camera, and open questions still in the public record. Twelve exhibits are public; the rest are supervised for serious productions. Interviews in English, Spanish, German, French and Italian. Tone is investigative and archival, not a weekly true-crime chat show.
Every episode can open on a real page: the front page, the cable, the Goldspatz headline, the empty grave, the Caracas scandal. Serialized narrative, six to ten episodes, built around public documents and the granddaughter's investigation. Sample prose goes out with the materials.
Unoptioned, primary archive, clean title. One rights holder, no estate committee. The archive runs in four languages and materials go out within one business day. The sixtieth anniversary of the November 1965 disappearance has passed; the woman at the centre never told the story, and her granddaughter is telling it first, with the documents.
