Mentorships | 1 to 1 | consultancy – Training Taskovski Films

We have been producing, distributing and lecturing around the world for 20 years already. Our experience helped us understand that many, if not all the projects can benefit greatly from getting individual professional feedback. Expert guidance for their specific project, discussion about their challenges, goals and ideas has provided a strong impetus to all the film-makers to realize their documentaries.

We offer individual mentorship throughout all stages of creating your documentary. From the development of your project, through financing and audience targeting to getting your film to festivals, TV screens and cinemas.

The individual approach will be extremely beneficial to you and your team. We will focus directly on your needs with very practical solutions, and offer professional guidance on aspects of the project which require it the most.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

At the beginning stage of the project it is essential to think thoroughly about the structure and the core of the film as well as the overall project plan.

You can send us your treatment, project description or teaser – we will not only provide you with feedback on the materials, but we will offer in-depth discussion focused on defining the core of the film, story development with emotional arcs and strong narrative as well as defining the production plan of the project.

ART OF PITCHING

Crucial part of the film development is creating and perfecting your pitch presentation in order to get new partners or financiers on board.

Perfect pitch which will attract them often requires years of experience or professional guidance – that is why we are offering to review your pitch presentation, help you to enhance the verbal and written content as well as the pitching performance itself.

FINANCING AND COPRODUCTION

Where to find funding for the project and how to secure it effectively? Let us help you identify possible financial resources and strategies for your individual project.

Provide us with your current financial plan and/or budget so we can talk about other funding options for your film.

We are well-versed in international coproductions and we can advise you on how to find a co-producer for your specific project, as well as how to negotiate with them.

DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY

Are you deliberating whether you should work with a sales agent, distributor or whether you should distribute the film yourself? Do you need some input on the collaboration proposal or contract with potential sales agents? Do you want to discuss the steps of self-distribution of your film?

Send us a synopsis, trailer or a rough-cut, or any other distribution materials you have. We will gladly walk you through the potential benefits of different options to help you decide on the distribution strategy that suits your project the best.

PREMIERE AND FESTIVAL STRATEGIES

How should you plan the film premiere, especially in these challenging times? Which festivals should you send your film to? What are the benefits and disadvantages of premiering online?

Share with us a synopsis, trailer and/or rough cut of your film as well as your thoughts on festival strategy. Then let us provide guidance on today’s unsteady festival world and prepare a structured and carefully-designed strategy with you.

PROMOTION CAMPAIGN

Each film has its audience. It is important to identify your audience and target it accordingly. Share with us your promo campaign plan as well as your promo materials design proposals.

We will share our knowledge on how to make your film stand out and reach, attract and maintain your potential audience. Create with us promotional materials and campaigns for your specific project. Navigate festival promotion easily in these unsteady times.
