HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT WHEN YOU JOIN FORCES WITH POLICY MOVES

 

You identify the policy issue you want to move forward. We work with you to craft a documentary short film (ideally four to ten minutes long) and a strategic distribution plan.

You gain experienced, policy-friendly, thoughtful, warm and creative partners who are with you all the way to the finish line. 

CONSULTATION

DEVELOPING A BLUEPRINT FOR BRINGING YOUR POLICY OR PROGRAM TO LIFE ON FILM

  • An in-depth consultation to understand your goals, message, values, and politics.
  • A deep read of your program documents, studies, statistics, client profiles and more.
  • A session with the devil's advocate: what are all the reasons anyone might object to your policy or program and how would you respond?
  • A detailed project budget with options for you to scale up or down. 
  • A realistic production timeline, with built in opportunities for review. 
  • A thought partner to develop funding proposals for your film.
