BEI Consultant Services

A free consultation with the consultant to discuss the client's project.  The time limit is 30 minutes. If the client decides to move forward,  they are required to fill out a questionnaire. 

 The consultant and client will discuss the questionnaire to ensure that the client's needs are addressed properly. (Questionnaire Form down below.)

The consultant has expertise in feature films, TV series, documentaries,  and reality shows. The consultant will compile a list of writers,  showrunners or teams based on the genre of the project. 

If the project is a feature film, the client will join the Writers Guild  of America (WGA) to register the project. The consultant will compile a  list of writers that work within the genre and set up interviews with  WGA and non-WGA writers. The client will then hire a writer who will  create a treatment. The consultant will pitch the treatment to agents  and production companies, and the consultant, agent, and writer will  pitch the treatment to studios, networks, and streaming services.

We will assess the viability of the project.  We don't accept a lot of projects unless we think we can sell them. We work on a flat fee or an hourly rate.  

 The consultant and client will get a producer fee, back-end % and a  credit if the project is sold. Fees paid to develop the project may be  reimbursed if the project is sold.
