BOOK TO FILM

Treatment 

Curious about what a treatment is? 

 

Think of it as a captivating fusion of a synopsis and an outline that showcases the future screenplay based on your book.

 

It’s a structured framework that presents the most cinematic rendition of your story, following the three-act structure universally employed by screenwriters and recognized by industry executives.

 

This filmic portrayal of your narrative allows professionals in the industry to envision its potential for the vibrant world of Bollywood.

That’s why we recommend having treatments written by seasoned writers who understand what producers are seeking. They can expertly mold your story into the right structure, highlighting its cinematic strengths.

 

Typically spanning 10 to 12 pages, treatments are submitted alongside your book (often accompanied by a concise pitch sheet and logline, which we’ll delve into later).

The pitch sheet and treatment are the first materials that producers, executives, directors, or agents will read.

The objective is to captivate them with your concept, increasing the chances of them actually delving into your book. Without these essential components, your book may end up at the bottom of the stack, overlooked and forgotten. It’s a harsh reality, but true.

 

Treatments can also be instrumental in submitting your book to influential industry platforms where producers actively search for fresh material.

A compelling treatment posted on platforms like InkTip can attract inquiries from potential buyers.

Treatment fees will vary depending on the nature of the material.

Pitch Sheets: Captivate with Conciseness 

Introducing the Pitch Sheet—

 

A condensed version of your book’s essence.

This one-page wonder begins with a logline, a concise encapsulation of its core in one or two sentences.

 

The pitch sheet then presents the narrative in a few catchy paragraphs, delivering the most cinematic rendition. The key here is less is more, as industry professionals have limited time and attention spans. It’s crucial to hook them with a compelling angle.

Crafting a pitch sheet is an art, which is why we entrust it to our experts.

Pitch Sheets are INCLUDED with your Treatment.
