PHASE 1
Future Impact Leveraged Marketing (F.I.L.M.)
The Film-Rx "Team" has created the most effective, proprietary process for
exposing and exploiting key marketing elements ("Impactors") contained in the
content of every Intellectual Property (IP). By identifying and analyzing these key
compnents we can determine the commercial viability of any script, book or
story.
Producers! Ask about our Free preliminary evaluation for your project!
The information and marketing opportunities revealed by this process empower
and enable producers to establish a primary point of engagement for the
consumer marketing base. The information is collated and compiled into a Script
Development Profile (SDP). Drawn from an analytical "grid," data is compiled on
an 'opt in' basis and mapped against existing information to expose a clear view
of the potential market for any film, book, play or other literary IP.
This is 'community specific' F.I.L.M.* research has been developed over four
decades, compiled and interpreted by Dr. Daniel Acuff (Ph.D. - USC) and David
P. Wilson (CEO) Both have more than 40 years experience in the fields of market
research and entertainment, respectively. The process is designed to
objectively evaluate and prescribe a clear, cost effective, narrow-cast strategy
for market bound product to leverage the greatest marketing and merchandising
opportunities, providing a boost by generating significant 'pre-release' income.
Vertically Integrated Marketing and Merchandising (VIMM)
Subsequent to the completion of the profile, a comprehensive developmental
marketing plan is presented for producers to review for application. Once critical
information is generated, marketing and merchandising 'programs' with
embedded surveys designed for the specific community is produced.
Based on the interests and concerns (both creative and commercial) of the
producers and consumers, these programs and surveys present a unique
access for public participation and a quality interaction throughout the process
of development, production., marketing and distribution.
Film-Rx can also assist in the management of this new relationship that is
intended to establish major COMMUNICATION, add CASH FLOW and project
specific MARKETING & MERCHANDISING INFORMATION for the Producer(s).
NOTE: While the profile may suggest a vision of the most viable commercial
development of the project from a consumer standpoint, it is in no way intended
to control, dominate or manipulate the overall creative process.
On the contrary, our surveys and programs are integral to supporting the
intentions of the creators and producers. The subsequent use and
implementation are entirely subject to their and consumer's approval at every
step along the way to Success. Film-Rx's primary purpose is to build the market,
enhance each project's sources of revenue and generate information vital to
universal distribution, marketing and merchandising.
The marketing information and projections will also provide significant leverage
for negotiating and securing a more cost effective PRINTS & ADVERTISING
(P&A) CAMPAIGN and a STRONGER NEGOTIATING POSITION FOR PRIMARY
RELEASE and ANCILLARY MARKETING REVENUES from DISTRIBUTORS.
PHASE 2:
Interactive Multimedia Online Programming (IMOP)
Establish a 'community-based' open architecture
PRODUCE Content based CATV, Internet & SocMed "3E" Programs
(Enhanced Entertainment Environments)
Engaging consumer involvement will lead to:
* increased leverage in P&A negotiations
* more attractive product placement potential
* "hard number" support for obtaining future funding
PRODUCER QUALIFICATIONS
The requirements for Producer(s) participation are:
- The Production "hard costs" or 'Below-the-Line' (BTL) must be funded .
- There must be sufficient cash to cover the Film-Rx deposit requirements.
- There is a 'fully copyrighted' draft of the manuscript, screenplay or story
(completed) made immediately available to Film-Rx Partners.
- It is further suggested that certain 'Above-the-Line' (ATL) attachments or
financing agreements be in place (i.e. a producer, writer, director, talent, etc.),
lines of credit (LOC), standby letters of credit (SLC), collateral, bank accounts,
studio or distributor funding letters in place, that allow the use of their name and
image in developing and forwarding a plan.
(OPTIONAL) In most cases, distribution guarantees and P&A are not required,
but they are a plus, provided the producers have retained their right to design
and manage their own marketing and merchandising.
PROGRAM COST
The cost of Phase 1 (SDP) is One Percent (1%) of the projected 'below-the-line'
of the project development budget (minimum $10k).
A Ten Percent (10%) deposit (min. $1,000.00) is required to initiate this phase.
It will take Thirty (30) days to prepare a complete Script Development Profile.
The balance of payment is due upon submission of the SDP and VIMM Plans.
The cost of Phase 2 is equal to Five Percent (5%) of the Total Adjusted Budget
(TAB) of the entire project.
The TAB includes the 'ATL' and 'BTL' expenses for production. Once a vetted
budget has been approved and the capital committed to the production. All
costs for the Phase 2 operations would come from these fees. They may
include, but are not limited to, the total cost of programming for Cable, the
Internet and marketing & merchandising. [i.e. a project with a TAB of
$5,000,000.00 carries a cost of $250,000.00].
Any additional costs are subject to additional negotiation.
A Ten Percent (10%) deposit is required prior to initiating Phase 2 operations
(not less than $10,000.00).
FILM-RX RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
FilmRx receives for its investment and services, a percentage (5%) of all
'pre-release' revenue received from the programs and processes initiated and
managed by Film-Rx, as well as from the subsequent sale of the programming
and bulk merchandising rights.
FilmRx PRODUCER'S WARRANTY
FilmRx warrants to Producers that:
Within seven to ten (7-10) days of contract closure and payment of deposit, they
will submit a complete Script Development Profile (SDP) that will offer a clearly
visible and viable way for producers to significantly reduce their cost of
development and production, and expose the optimum marketing and
merchandising opportunities for their project.
Furthermore, Film-Rx will provide a viable and affordable developmental plan,
designed to generate significant 'pre-release' revenue from the marketing and
merchandising of their project during that same period (30 days) or we will
return all fees paid by the Producer for Film-Rx services, less hard costs (Not to
exceed 20% of total fees paid).
