Software Solution

 

We’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with writers, directors, actors, producers, and executives, telling stories from Gold Rush-era San Francisco to distant futures on unrecognizable planets. Our goal is to understand our client’s perspective and mandate to more efficiently develop exciting and distinctive material for features and television. 

We unearth, assess and recommend books, articles, podcasts and other forms of IP that best suit our client’s needs and interests. From a proposal for a not-yet-published book to a translation of a manuscript from the 13th century, we’re story hunters who love the process of finding exceptional material.

We also offer services once material is optioned, from creative lists to development notes and consultation through the final draft.

If this scouting approach is of interest to you and your company, please reach out to us for pricing and more details: [email protected].
