The guide
Welcome to Sentient
This is a development site. The team behind Sentient is creating a global Sci-fi TV series.
The goal
The first season will include a pilot plus five episodes.
Our global teams are modelling their own unique versions based on our formula.
We seek to sell the content created and the right to remake the work, all over the world.

The Leaderboard
Track your share of the intellectual property on our Leaderboard.
Raising money for development is tough. When we cannot pay or can only pay-part, we track your share of the IP in the work via a Leaderboard to ensure you get your slice of the pie. The Leaderboard, designed by Craig Delahoy and David Steinhoff is an advanced and fair way of tracking your contribution during development.
Got Stamp?
We seek 100 people to back Sentient with $100 a month.
It could be 1000 x $10. What it has to be, is about providing regular support. Currently, there are team members who carry this burden alone. We thank them for their vision and commitment.
We don’t want your money if you’re a starving artist but most can afford at least $10 a month or more so why not choose to be part of the solution?
Remember, this is a global project and we are a global team. This is a game-changer and you’re part of it. If you believe in the vision, back it.
We thank those of you who have and will.
You are in our hearts and minds.
You are truly Sentient.
