Behind the Build
Shorts
Slate in development. Working titles.
One person, one business, told properly. Not a testimonial. The film a founder can put in front of investors, staff and press, and still be using in three years.
Documentary made with a brand, about something real. They fund it and get the association and a first window. It still has to be worth watching on its own, or it isn't doing the job.
The stories worth chasing. A single film on a subject that won't wait, where the access is the whole opportunity. We go after these first and build the funding around them.
Returnable by design. Season one is built so season two costs less and lands faster, with the audience already there when it does. We own the format and the footage, so the same structure can be licensed into another territory and earn again without another shoot.
An asset, not an impression. Once a title exists it keeps returning, and these run in parallel rather than instead of each other.
01
Acquisition
A network or streamer buys IP that already has an audience attached. You set the price, because it already exists.
02
Format Licensing
A format travels. The same structure licensed into another territory earns again without another shoot.
03
Sponsorship
The channel carries partners season after season. Renewable revenue against something you own, not a one-off buy.
04
Direct
Members tier, pay per view, subscriber content on a platform you already own. If your audience pays you for something, they will pay for this.
Every title is built to earn twice. Once from the partner who funds it, and again at acquisition, when a buyer takes IP with an audience already attached.
Owned IP
A partner or partners funds it. They get the association and a first window.
Several partners, smaller cost each. Presence, not editorial.
Public funding for documentary.
Investor or philanthropic capital against the IP and its windows.
Most projects stack more than one. Bring the idea and we will find the route.
Heritage brands, institutions and creators with a following are all sitting on the same thing: decades of material nobody has catalogued, and an audience already paying attention. Before anyone books a crew, we find out what you have.
Hands on, run personally by Jess. What exists, what is broadcast usable, who owns it, what is clearable, and what is sitting on magnetic tape quietly dying.
Where the story breaks, what is missing between the pieces you have, and what it would cost to shoot the links. Usually far less than starting from nothing.
The titles worth making, ranked by the ones where funding already exists, each with a route attached and a named category of partner beside it.
You finish the audit owning a catalogue, a slate and a funding map, whether or not you make anything with us. Each step after it is a decision point and nothing commits you to the next one.
Most organisations are richer than they think and cannot prove it.
