Film and TV Development

Do you have an idea for a project?  Like a plant seed, an idea needs to be nurtured and fed before it grows and blossoms.  Sadly, far too many great ideas and projects have never come to fruition, simply because they were not properly developed.  Here at EBA, we can help turn your idea into a viable reality.

Our specialized team can walk you through all the steps to success, from initial sourcing out of development funding eligibility to strategizing for future development growth and success.

EBA team members can guide you through analysis and/or creation of a developmental budget and financing plan; completion and filing of funding applications for development; and financier (broadcaster and funds) negotiation to completion.

Let us handle negotiations and drafting of writers agreements (union and non-union); negotiation and drafting of underlying rights material (Option/Purchase Agreements); management of deliverables and ensuring payables are received in a timely manner.

The team can also advise on target broadcasters, production budgets, production financing and tax credit calculations; and create and maintain tickler systems for option renewal dates, funding deadlines, any time sensitive dates; and assistance with becoming a WGC, ACTRA, WGA, DGC member.
