Runway Big Pitch Contest Entry: The New Republic
Christopher pitches The New Republic, a dark mystery anthology series set in an alternate history.
Created for Runway’s Big Pitch Contest, The New Republic is a bold anthology built around self-contained stories, recurring threads, and a hidden world shaped by forces beyond human control. Strange, unsettling, and sometimes unexpectedly human, the series is designed to take big creative swings while delivering a distinct visual and emotional identity.
The trailer presents the series as a high-concept world with long-form potential, combining dark mystery, alternate history, and cosmic dread into a format built for surprise. With top-tier collaborators already lined up and the first episode now in production, this is not just an idea.
