FILM PROJECT

DEVELOPMENT

Pitch & Co-production

Challenge

We help screenwriters, directors and independent producers strengthen their film or series project for pitching, partners, labs, markets and co-production opportunities.

Étape 1 :

Project Assessment

We review the current state of your film project

Submit your logline, synopsis, treatment, screenplay or pitch materials. We evaluate the concept, story structure, protagonist, conflict, genre clarity, production feasibility and international potential:

  • Story, genre and audience positioning;

  • Script / treatment / pitch deck review;

  • Initial assessment of development and co-production potential.

Étape 2 :

Development Strategy

We identify what must be strengthened before pitching

We define the key creative and strategic priorities: story problems, character arcs, dramatic tension, budget logic, festival direction, target markets and possible co-production angles:

  • Script and project development priorities;

  • Pitch package and positioning strategy;

  • Recommendations for labs, markets or partners.

Étape 3 :

Project Package

We help prepare your project for professional presentation:

Depending on the project, we help refine your logline, synopsis, treatment, director’s statement, producer’s note, pitch deck and consultation strategy:

  • Logline, synopsis and treatment improvement;

  • Director’s statement / producer’s note support;

  • Pitch deck and co-production readiness.

Étape 4 :

Development Consultation

We discuss the most realistic next step for your project

After the assessment, we can propose a development consultation, script doctor work, pitch package review or a broader international development strategy:

  • One-to-one development consultation;

  • Script doctor or pitch package support;

  • Strategic next steps without false promises.

What Makes This Development Process Different

More than script feedback: a project-level development approach

We evaluate your film not only as a screenplay, but as a future project: story, genre, characters, production feasibility, international positioning, pitch readiness and co-production potential:

  • Professional story and script development perspective;

  • Project evaluation from both creative and producer-level angles;

  • Practical recommendations for pitching, packaging and next steps.
