Dear Directors,
This is for anyone that would like some reference sites to write a commercial treatment. Many new directors assume that the production company or producer is responsible for this. This is not the case in the commercial world. Directors must be prepared to write treatments, have treatments written, have their ideas borrowed, etc. The more you do, the more experience you gain. It doesn’t take any budget to write 100 treatments. I suggest having a bunch of them written up and practice pitching them too. Remember rehersals?? In the INDIE world it is up to us to book our own work. I look forward to working with fresh new talent and I’d like to pass along helpful information along the way. The idea is that the people around me are being mentored to the top as well. These links below might not be the best examples of a treatment, and it might not make you into the next “Michael Bay”???? It might not; but it’s a good start for you to start investigating how to perfect your craft even further. There are many awesome books out there on the subject. Remember, as artists and creators in the entertainment industry we are always up against the BEST. That’s what we strive to be. The BEST! I hope this was helpful.
Very Respectfully,
