Otto Productions LLC was formed early in 2023 by four long term close friends with the intention of creating a TV series based on the book by Marty Saulenas, The Highwater Gate. Since the book seemed to cover many popular contemporary themes we felt it would also make an absorbing TV series. Otto, one of the main characters, is an AI driven prototype humanoid robot detective so it seemed appropriate to use the name for our company. The book was then contracted to be adapted as a TV series by Will Felton and Louis van Zeller who also wrote the screenplay together. Will has had considerable experience in both theatre production and direction, often combining his own writing with established dramas at well known UK theatres as well as international touring productions. Will's current projects include both writing and ghost-writing, with articles appearing in both “The Times” and “The Guardian”. Louis, after graduating from Edinburgh University completed an MA in journalism from City, University of London. Louis now works, and writes for a corporate intelligence company. Whilst working as a journalist in both London and Tbilisi, Louis and Will co-wrote the feature length screenplay Cavalry. This dark comedy has been optioned by a producer from Bridgerton.
