Clear answers
Do I need to send my whole novel?
No. A chapter, excerpt, synopsis or scene description is enough, with a few notes on the characters and world.
Trailer or adaptation: what's the difference?
A trailer builds a mood from a few evocative shots. An adaptation faithfully recreates a specific scene with its characters, movement and dialogue, which takes more work and costs more.
Are adaptation rights an issue?
Being the author doesn't always mean you hold the audiovisual rights. If you assigned them to a publisher, we'll ask for their permission.
What happens to my manuscript?
It stays confidential, is never published or reused without your consent, and is deleted on request.
Is the storyboard free?
The first review is free. The full storyboard is made once the quote is accepted and the deposit paid.
Which formats do you deliver?
Vertical 9:16 for social media, 16:9 for YouTube and websites, 2.39:1 for a cinematic look.
