The TV Series Pitch Bible - Articulating your Show
It's all about making them feel like you do about a story that has to be told.
The Written TV Series Pitch Bible is the most powerful tool to have when readying to meet producers. It is a blueprint, not only of what your show is, but why and how it will have the staying power to go 100 episodes.
We create a dazzling eight to ten page clear and concise document for your TV Series or story idea by demonstrating in all areas how your idea is fresh, new and coming from whole different way of looking at even a familiar topic or subject.
In a very conversational and executive friendly form this document will:
Lay out a precise Logline that not only states the title, what the show is, the form, the mythology and the genre but that will be so tight, original and provocative it will have them wanting you to embellish upon it. The logline will not only describe the main character, their flaw, plight, stakes and give some hints of their outer and inner conflicts but will also have a great Overall Conceit built into it that will differentiate your show immediately from the hundreds of other premises that may deal with that subject or idea.
Enchant them with your brilliant Overview of the Show: the premise, the summary, the concept: The idea, where it came from, why you are writing it, why you have to. What is cool, fresh, unique and timely about this project? Why does this show need to be on the air and now?
Articulate the world of your show and how things work there: the settings, the conventions, the hooks, the recurring elements, your spin on the genre and the tone. What is cool, fresh, unique and timely about this project? What is your angle or original take on your premise and your world that will set it apart from the others? Perhaps a few comps tossed in to illustrate all of this. “It’s Sigmund Freud trapped in a Sandra Bullock movie and he can’t find his glasses."
Describe your Main Characters not only who they are, their history, their role and function, but how they will behave, be challenged and maybe even be changed (character arc) throughout the series. By immediately showing the lines of conflict between the characters we are now laying in issues/challenges as to what producers can expect, and, then we pay this off in the pilot synopsis later on.
Describe your Secondary Characters: How they got there, how they tie in, their role and function.
Include the Pilot Synopsis that clearly demonstrates in "story-speak" all of the tenets we defined above in a very conversational, tonally accurate couple of paragraphs making it clear you can execute what you have been describing all along.
Illustrate just how your show can go on forever by demonstrating the endlessly repeatable Story Engine and the types of episodes viewers can expect week after week after week as per this world.
Other Episode Ideas. A three or four sentence paragraph where you will now demonstrate the story engine and the endless supply of stories your series will produce.
A one paragraph Wrap of the Show, but, now written from a sense that what is laid out is clear, marketable and understood. This is the call to action for anyone interested in producing your series.
A skillfully drafted and concise TV Series Pitch Bible is a major confidence builder as when you are this clear about what your series is and are able to get that across succinctly, you surely will have a leg up when you go up.
Phone and/or E-mail consultations for tightening and revising to your specifications.
Rate varies as per project. Call or E-mail to discuss.
