← The slate
Crew calls from shows on the slate, the real numbers behind a stage budget, and the way to start your own show on here. Open to everyone. You don't have to back anything to be in the room.
Every role here is open to anyone. Backing a show gives no hiring advantage, and shows post what they're paying up front. We don't take a cut of hiring.
Broadcast-quality 2D animation, all in. That's the benchmark every stage on ShowSparks is budgeted against, and it's why a 90-second teaser is a real ask, not a vanity number.
See how a stage budget breaks down →Your story first. Then the show. Then the honest ask for the stage that's open. No sizzle reel voiceover, no studio logo wall. Backers fund people they believe.
What a pitch package includes →Development, teaser, pilot. Each stage has its own reachable goal, names exactly what it produces, and only charges backers if it funds. Plan the first one you can actually ship.
