Creative DIRECTOR/ screenwriter-
original graphic novel & Series pilot
A dark sci-fi tale about a world with an untouchable caste of networked terrorist-hostages, and the half-lives they lead.
COLLAR is a sandbox IP developed by Izzy while he lived on a sailboat in Mexico, creating several new stories and consulting on projects remotely.
Izzy built this narrative concept specifically around the idea that a world caught in the grip of a good conflict engine would brilliantly spotlight and corner any personality, delivering a truly original tale.
Taking the core concept of the sandbox IP and choosing a mentor and mentee dynamic, Izzy wrote the screenplay for a pilot episode and show bible for a full arc television series.
The tragic and gripping tale of a young woman forced into a life of terroristic servitude, and all the horror and untold power that accompany it, is rich with imagery and potential.
Izzy was not alone in this thought, as the pilot and show package have been shopped by Pressman Film and is seeing production in S. Korea with intent for streaming services.
Simultaneously, the concept franchise is seeing exploration in print, with a comic series in the works, and graphic and standard novelization on the horizon.
