ABOUTZOMEDIA
WHO WE ARE
Our goal with Zo Media Productions is to provide a platform where creative expression and communication can exist between the incarcerated and outside world. One of the many effects of incarceration is the erasure of individuality and freedom of expression.
Zo Media Productions aims to combat this by uplifting and bringing attention to your creativity. We want to accept, publish and produce as much work as possible and have developed several media platforms ranging from university sponsored archives to book publishing to feature your work.
If your writing is intended for a format that requires visual art, we aim to pair your work with volunteers and artists, and adapt a selection of the written works into multimedia properties. These could include books, comics, short films, animations, and more.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
STORIES
Writers and authors with short stories (approx. 2,000 words) that metaphorically depict the warped reality experienced in prison. It doesn’t have to be your story, and the story can be about anyone or anything so long as it is about prison.
LYRICS
Powerful song lyrics that may complement stories about the disorientation of prison or reflective of prison life.
SCREENPLAYS
Imaginative screenplays that can come to life with animation. You are encouraged to incorporate any secondary genres or elements you choose, whether it be elements of science fiction, magical realism, or horror.
