Screen Rights
A six-to-eight-episode limited series built from a primary archive. One rights holder. International co-production settings. Teaser online.
Last updated July 31, 2026
Six to eight episodes. Completed pilot script. Memoir manuscript in final edit as underlying IP. Documentary and podcast lanes also open.
Life rights + memoir + supervised archive access from a single contact. About 144 original documents (1965-1966). Ninety-five-second teaser cut from the family archive and period footage: every headline is real.
Washington, Caracas, Zurich, 1965. Convent schools and coffee fortunes, oil-boom Venezuela, Swiss banks, multilingual press. Built for international co-production.
A seventeen-year-old heiress vanishes from Washington twenty-six days before inheriting a $10 million estate (roughly $150 million today), resurfaces in Caracas married and holding a newborn, and the family never collects the money. The Washington Post put her on the front page.

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 at /chapter/.
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.
