PROJECT PEARL
Project Pearl is an independent professional assessment designed to identify what matters now — before you revise, resubmit or take the project to its next professional opportunity.
WHAT PROJECT PEARL HELPS YOU DETERMINE:
Does the project need further development?
Identify whether the creative material itself requires further development before the next professional step.
Does the project package need strengthening?
Determine whether the project would benefit from clearer positioning, explanation or presentation rather than further creative development.
Is the project ready to move forward?
Assess whether further revision is actually necessary — or whether the priority should be the next submission, market or partnership opportunity.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
1. Executive Diagnosis
A concise assessment of where the project stands now — its principal strengths, critical issues and immediate development priorities.
4. Priority Action Plan
Clear priorities separating what should be addressed now, what can wait, and what does not currently require further work.
2. Development Assessment
An assessment of the creative material to identify what requires further development and what is already working.
5. What Not to Change
Identification of elements that do not currently require revision, helping avoid unnecessary changes before the project's next professional step.
3. Project Package Assessment
A review of how effectively the available materials communicate and position the project — including the logline, synopsis, treatment, series bible or pitch deck, where provided.
6. Recommended Next Step
Recommendation for the project's next professional move: further development, package strengthening, external validation, partnership development, market preparation or another appropriate step.
WHO THIS REVIEW IS FOR
For producers, creator-producers, writers and project teams with a developed film or series project who need an independent professional assessment before deciding what to do next.
Project Pearl may be particularly relevant if:
your project was not selected for a fund, lab, market or pitching programme;
you received little or no actionable feedback;
you are preparing for a submission, market, pitch or other professional opportunity;
you are considering further development but are unsure what actually needs to change;
you need to decide whether to develop the project further, strengthen its package or move forward as it stands.
MATERIALS
The review is based on the materials currently available for your project. Depending on the project, these may include a screenplay or pilot, treatment or series bible, pitch deck, synopsis and logline, previous application materials and any feedback received.
After payment, you will receive immediate access to a dedicated project submission form where you can upload the materials you would like us to assess.
Your materials remain your property and will be used only to provide the Project Pearl service. Access is limited to authorised reviewers. AI supports the analysis and structure, while the final report is professionally reviewed before delivery.
If you require an NDA, please contact us at info@saubanfilm.com before uploading confidential project materials.
