Our team hunts festival fee waivers and discounts for your film, plans which festivals and funds to apply to on strategy calls, and reviews your dossier before you submit. Pro is included while we work together. Pitch deck reviews are a separate add-on.
Many festivals offer waivers or discounts on entry fees, for example for first-time filmmakers, certain regions or early entries. We find the ones your film qualifies for and ask on your behalf. Waivers are up to each festival, so we can't promise them.
Yes. Script consulting, treatment, statement polish and design work can be booked on their own.
Yes, any time. Your films, pitch pages and profile stay yours.
Only industry members you approve, one request at a time. Each gets a copy stamped with their name, email and the time, for 14 days, and you see every time they open it.
Our partner law firm drafts an NDA for your film and the countries involved. They quote first; nothing is charged until you accept. You then paste it into your film's NDA section.
Access: the Reading Room's filters, read requests, saved lists and ratings. They never pay to rank anyone, and filmmakers never pay to be read.
