How long does it take to produce a film?

Generally it can take anywhere from 6 to 18 months, but it can be longer depending on multiple factors including development time, shooting schedule and post-production schedule. Other considerations include the length of the script, the complexity of production needs, and the amount of money in the budget.

Can you help me get an agent and sell my idea?

While we work to help develop your vision and strategize pitch materials, we can never guarantee your idea will be bought and sold for distribution, that you will get representation from a talent agency or get a meeting with a network. Our services are meant to give you a leg up in a competitive market and provide the highest quality tools and resources for you to succeed. It’s important to keep this in mind when shopping your idea to potential investors.
