Pitch posters & decks

The pitch on paper

Before a film exists, the pitch has to make people see it. A pitch poster captures the whole concept in a single image; a pitch deck builds the world page by page. Together they’re the difference between a project that gets financed and one that stays a document.

Pitch Consulting

Sell your project

Pitching is an artform unto itself, and often the difference between a project that gets financed and one collecting dust is how effective the presentation is. Distilling your vision down to its most concise and emotionally impactful elements takes craft, artistry and practice. We coach you through it with industry professionals who have developed and sold shows with producers and major Hollywood studios. Whether you need copywriting, creative direction or public-speaking coaching, we adapt to your project’s specific needs. Let’s go sell your film.

Screenwriting Services

Beat the blank page

What do The Matrix, The Godfather and The Lion King have in common? They all started as an idea in someone’s head, staring at a blank page. The difference between those who dream of being creative and those who give Best Screenplay speeches is the ability to tap into that creative muscle with consistency and craftsmanship. Through tested techniques, our screenwriting consultant helps you access your voice, build a consistent writing schedule and obliterate any notion of the dreaded “Writer’s Block.” Short film, TV pilot, feature - or still just an idea - we’ll take you from development to final draft.

Directing Services

Script to screen

ACTION! Cinema happens when the emotional performance of the actors and the technical performance of the crew are in harmony - and the orchestrator of that synergy is the director. No two directors are alike; through consultation we help you hone your voice so you can translate a script to the screen. Whether it’s your first film or your fifth, we provide expert guidance and accountability to get you through any creative obstacle and to your red carpet. If your project has already been filmed, we can consult at any stage of the edit to clarify story and emotional impact. CUT!
