Submission Guidelines.

So you've got a proposal and think we might be interested... but what does Super Channel want to see in the submission package? See below for a detailed list.

Requirements

  1. A description of the hook in one short paragraph. We want PREMIUM projects. What will draw an audience to this film? Is it a high-profile topic or event? An adaptation from a well-known and popular work? A talent package that will draw attention?
  2. Treatment or most recent draft script.
  3. If a director is attached, include a Director's Vision Statement that includes a description of style, character interpretation, expression of themes, etc.
  4. A synopsis of one page or less.
  5. A development budget and proposed Development Financing scenario. The more information you can provide, the better. If you already have secured some of your production financing, let us know.
  6. A CV of key personnel.
  7. Available chain of title documentation (such as assignment by writer to producer, writer contract, underlying rights agreements)
  8. A work plan and development schedule.
  9. A marketing plan. In the early stages, let us know your target audience. For later stages of development provide us with information regarding relationships with distributors, any cast that is in place, etc.

Is your package complete? Excellent. Return to the Producers homepage and submit your proposal.

What type of programming is Super Channel looking for?

The best way to find out is to watch Super Channel. In the first year of operation, we will concentrate on developing feature-length projects. We’re interested in both drama and documentary. Because we’re a premium service, we want premium product. The subject matter should have a "big screen" feel.

What steps will Super Channel fund in development?

We will consider all stages of script and concept development.

Can I send a demo with my submission?

By all means, send a demo. We prefer DVD. Tell us that you’re sending it when you make your online submission. Your Creative Development Representative will provide you with the address closest to you, then you can ship the DVD by mail or courier.

Will my submission be considered for all the channels on Super Channel?

Yes.

Will my submission be returned?

Due to the high volume, we are unable to return submissions.

Can I pitch in person?

We prefer to review the project first. If it fits our needs, we will contact you and a meeting can be arranged at that time.

When can I expect to hear from you?

We will contact you to let you know that we have received the submission. We are aiming to review projects within six weeks. If we are unable to meet that goal, we will let you know.

How do I contact the Creative Development Representative in my area directly?
