Film Production and Story for Film

Date Created: October 8, 2022

At DreamEngine, we bridge the gap between the written page and the silver screen. In today’s multi-dimensional media landscape, stories are no longer confined to a single format. We provide a comprehensive suite of film production services designed to help authors, screenwriters, and producers maximise the power of their narrative and land a production deal.

We help writers maximise the power in their story, package it and land a production deal.

The Three Pillars of Writing Success

It has never been easier to share your story with the world, yet it has never been harder to secure a professional deal. We focus on three critical areas to ensure your success in the film and television industry:

  • Story Excellence: Ensuring your narrative is the best it can possibly be through advanced story evaluation.
  • Professional Packaging: Presenting your story in its ideal form, including the creation of a high-end pitch deck.
  • Industry Networking: Effectively positioning yourself and your work within the professional film production network.

World-Class Story Consultancy

Our film production wing is powered by the expertise of Dr. David Baboulene, a world-renowned story consultant. Using David’s unique and proven methods for story analysis; such as "storification" and the "knowledge gap"; we help you identify the inherent power in your story. This objective understanding allows authors and producers to guide a project through the complex gauntlet of development to create a winning final product.

Author Mythology

Your book is ready. Your author identity may not be.

Before a literary agent reads your manuscript, they search your name. Before a reader buys your book, they look you up. Author Mythology is DreamEngine's process for building the complete author identity that makes both take you seriously.

Publishing with DreamEngine

DreamEngine Publishing offers professional book production through Publish with DreamEngine. It's a flat fee, and you publish through your own Amazon account, so you keep everything it earns. An optional upgrade adds DreamEngine as your credited publisher. Some authors are working towards a genuine traditional deal instead, with an agent or a major publisher. Author Mythology is where that starts. For a complete overview of all routes, read our guide to book publishing.

For authors building their platform, DreamEngine offers social media management and author website design. Both are developed from a complete author identity brief. Manuscript development is available through our story consultancy with Dr David Baboulene. For authors already published, our book marketing service supports promotional campaigns and reader engagement.

Navigating the Publishing Landscape

Before you submit or publish, it helps to understand the options clearly. Our guides to what is hybrid publishing, what is traditional publishing, and what is self-publishing explain the real differences in investment, rights, and royalties. If you are approaching agents or publishers, read why literary agents search your name before they read your manuscript.

For authors at the production and marketing stage, our posts on professional book editing, book cover design, professional book design, and how to optimise your Amazon KDP book listing provide practical guidance. To build your author platform, read our posts on social media for authors, websites for authors, and book publicity.
