We'll start with an initial, confidential consultation, at no charge. This gives us a chance to make sure we have a meeting of the minds. We'll talk about your project, your film assets and where you're at with production.
Let's say you want to create a pitch deck.
​
It's a three-step process:
​
Step One: Assess The main goal is to figure out the elements in your story. If you are just starting out I'll want to know about the general thrust of the story. Who, what, when, where and why. We'll talk about the research you may have done. I'll ask you about the timeframe of your story. Is it present-day, set in the past, a little of both? I'll want to know about your main characters and their participation in the story. We'll go through the list of assets you have or need. Do you have archival images? Have you shot anything already? What is your budget? What is your level of experience?
Based on our talk, I'll prepare a very rough outline for you.
Step Two: Frame We'll walk through the outline and begin the process of building the framework for your story. Literally, the beginning, middle and end (as far as you can predict it). This is critical. Everything that follows in your production will benefit from this blueprint. Granted, it will change over time, but getting this out of your head and onto "paper" is important.
We'll craft a logline, work up a synopsis, describe the flow of the story, list your characters and settle on an approach.
Step Three: Create Now that the blueprint is set and your story is well-structured, we can begin the process of writing the copy and laying out your production deck with a designer.
It doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg and won't if you have a strong story.
Everything that follows is made easier.
You shoot a sizzle reel with this story in mind. You're surprised by how this framing helps with interviewing. And when you are ready to edit this film, you are in much better shape.
Something like this can take a couple of weeks of my time. I typically charge $100 per hour (which is a very competitive rate). I've found that the range for creating a deck can be $500 for the bare minimum and up to $3,500 for me to do all of this writing work for you. But I'd rather that you helped.
And I'm flexible. My goal is to help you. And I like to do this kind of work.

Anyway, that's one example of what docstory911 can do for you.
