The Problem

You know the opportunity is real. But you're stuck.

You've seen the numbers. $26 billion. Creators launching entire series with small teams. Audiences paying real money to unlock episodes. You know this is the moment.

But every time you try to start, you hit the same wall. You've watched YouTube videos that explain the format but not how to actually build one. You've read articles that hype the opportunity but skip the playbook. Maybe you've even spent money on a course that taught you theory but left you with nothing you could produce.

The result is always the same: you're still sitting on an idea with no clear path from concept to screen. Meanwhile, other creators — some with less talent, less experience — are shipping shows and building audiences. The difference isn't ability. It's having a system.

Your Guide

Guy Chachkes

Guy is the CEO and Co-Founder of Reelarc, the leading demo reel and vertical content production company in the United States, with studios in New York City and Los Angeles. Since 2014, Reelarc has produced over 15,000 scenes and vertical pilots.

He previously co-founded Moodcaster, a casting technology platform that was acquired by Viddie Inc. He also produced a $2 million feature film covered by The Hollywood Reporter, and Reelarc has been featured on Business Insider as a leader in demo reel production for actors.

He built this blueprint because he kept seeing the same thing: talented creators stuck on the sidelines while the vertical series market exploded. This is the system he uses every day.
