From Idea to 10 Filmed Episodes in 30 Days
Concept. Writing. Casting. Production. Distribution coaching. All in one sprint — produced in Reelarc's studios by the team behind 15,000+ vertical scenes.
Next Sprint starts April 7, 2026
Real productions by Guy Chachkes & the Reelarc team for actual clients.
The Reality
Producing a vertical series the traditional way is brutal
Most vertical series cost between $35,000 and $350,000 to produce. And that's before you figure out how to get a single viewer to watch.
You spend months in development before a single word is written.
Concept meetings, pitch decks, format research. Six months go by and you still don't have a script.
You burn $50K–$100K on crew, equipment, and studio rentals.
Camera packages, lighting, sound, location fees, insurance. Every line item adds up. And you haven't even started shooting.
Casting takes weeks. Scheduling takes longer.
You're coordinating actors, crew availability, and studio time across different calendars. One conflict pushes everything back.
You finish the show — and realize you have no audience.
No distribution plan. No email list. No way to sell it. You spent everything on production and nothing on getting it in front of people.
Most creators never get past the planning stage.
The ones who do? They spend 6 to 12 months and six figures before a single viewer ever sees their show.
What if you could skip all of that?
What if someone had already built the studios, hired the crews, developed the system — and all you had to do was bring your story?

@a_producer_guyHe built the Sprint so you don't have to figure it out alone
30 days. 4 weeks. A clear plan for every stage — from the first word of your script to the last frame of your final episode. Here's exactly how it works.
The 30-Day Roadmap
Four weeks. One finished show.
Every week has a clear objective. Daily Slack support throughout. By Day 30, you have 10 filmed episodes and a clear path to sell them.
Concept & Writing

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Week 1 is concept development and writing with Guy and his Lead Writer — you'll have all 10 episodes scripted. Weeks 2-3 cover pre-production and casting. Week 4, we shoot all 10 episodes in Reelarc's studios and guide you through setting up your direct-to-consumer distribution. You get daily support on Slack throughout the entire 30 days.
No. You can produce entirely remotely — we handle everything in our studios with our crews. You direct over video call, review dailies, and give notes. Many clients prefer this. If you want to be on set, you're welcome at either our LA or NYC studio.
It helps to have a rough concept, but it doesn't need to be polished. Week 1 is specifically designed to develop and refine your idea into something that works for the vertical format.
Everything. Studio time, professional crew, cameras, lighting, sound, set design from our 40+ available setups, and casting from our talent network. You don't need to bring anything except your story.
Because we've built the infrastructure. Reelarc shoots 6 scenes a day, every day. We own the studios, the cameras, the sets. Our crews know the system. We're not figuring it out — we're plugging your project into a machine that already works.
You own your show. You own your audience. You own your distribution. We produce it, we guide you through selling it, and you own everything. No platform taking a cut, no gatekeepers deciding if your show gets picked up.
