How It Works
Five stages, in order.
The order matters more than the effort. Each stage produces what the next one needs, so nothing is approached before the project can support the conversation.
Project Review
Review screenplay, treatment, pitch deck, budget, attachments and current stage. Establish what exists, what is missing and what the project can credibly claim today.
In this stage
- Read of script or treatment
- Review of deck, budget and finance plan
- Attachment and rights status
- Honest assessment of stage
Research
Identify realistic grants, producers and funding opportunities. Eligibility is checked before anything reaches a shortlist.
In this stage
- Funder and fund screening
- Producer and company research
- Eligibility verification
- Deadline mapping
Strategy
Build a structured funding roadmap: what is approached, in what order, and what has to be ready first.
In this stage
- Sequenced roadmap
- Stage gates and prerequisites
- Target tiers
- Materials plan
Execution
Applications, research, producer targeting and documentation — prepared, reviewed and submitted to spec.
In this stage
- Application drafting
- Producer approach framing
- Document preparation
- Submission handling
Ongoing Support
Help the project move into the next phase: responses, resubmissions, revised strategy and the following cycle.
In this stage
- Response review
- Resubmission planning
- Strategy revision
- Next-cycle preparation
