FILM BIBLES
Whether you’re pitching to a streamer, a festival or a distributer, The Treatment Factory will help create a comprehensive film bible that translates your vision into a premium, pitch-ready visual document. Each bible is a comprehensive time capsule that braids your material with our expertise. It goes like this:
CORE TREATMENT
-
In this chapter, we show that the project is not "just because", but is motivated by social, political or behavioral tensions that justify viewership, and make the project relatable to target audiences.
-
Through refined copywriting, this chapter articulates your vision in a captivating title, a logline that works as an elevator pitch, and a one-page synopsis that sums up the plot. Additionally, we express the genre of choice in terms of tones, and define the cultural, political, behavioral or literary themes (e.g. “This is a Cinderalla story) that influence the piece and guide the unfolding of its events.
-
This is the storytelling core of the project. It expresses the drama through the intentions of the main characters and the obstacles they face across the main story beats, namely: Old Order, Inciting Incident, Escalation, Point of No Return, Complications, Major Setback, Final Push, Climax, Aftermath.
Explore Visual Plot add-on for an even more effective way to pitch. -
We define the look & feel in terms of cinematography and camera movement complete with references. We also define locations, set & wardrobe design, visual effects and music. You can always commission additional a.i. imagery to visualize your story world.
DEVELOPMENT ADD-ONS
-
Pain Point ::
Your latest story draft feels weak in the knees — think: competing protagonists, stakes not high enough, unresolved events, or absence of believability.
Solution ::
Story therapy addresses such pain points in context of comparable titles, as well as creative & strategic objectives. Comes with 1-hr talk-therapy per round, in-document comments and study suggestions. -
Pain Point ::
Your characters feel flat and two-dimensional. They can be easily removed, and don’t weave properly into the plot line.
Solution ::
Character dev dives into the backstory of each character, their psychological diagnosis, and how their individual intention and obstacle contributes to the dramatic plot. Comes with cast references. -
Pain Point ::
Your story world feels like a copy of something we’ve seen before. Or maybe it doesn’t have enough flesh, laws, or visual manifestation.
Solution ::
Story World dev dedicates a one-page backstory of the ecosystem, justifying its Whys and Hows. Comes with four static Midjourney visualizations, or one 20-second video to bring it to life. -
Pain Point ::
You only have the broad lines of a story, but you cannot articulate properly, and you need someone to do it for you. ChatGPT is just not cutting it.
Solution ::
Written Treatment is a 10-pager that factors in the back work of character’s intention & obstacle through the 3-act structure, as well as hooks, cliffhangers, climax & resolution.

A high-level MidJourney storyboard is tailor-made to capture the look and feel of your world, culture, and characters. It can also incorporate talent resemblances as needed. -

Solution ::
A five-minute visual plot narrates the 6-stage plot (Michael Hauge) on top of a sequence of 50 Midjourney images. This is a bonfire story tailored visually to captivate viewers, and leave them with no ambiguity about your project. It’s an efficient and effective way to get creative consensus about your work, towards green-lighting production. -
Pain Point ::
You have a live pitch to do and you don’t know where to start or how to secure the sale.
Solution ::
A confidential Pitch Demo is shared with you to watch, memorize and emulate. Play it back as often as you need to hone your salesmanship for the live pitch. Record your own version, and embed it in your presentation, so that your stakeholders can see for themselves how passionate you are about your project.
MARKETING ADD-ONS

Pain Point ::
You haven’t had time to think about your target audience, how to get them curious about your project, or the commercial potential of your IP.Solution ::
