Documentary Funding Proposals

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

 

What’s Your Story?

 

The focus of this leading-edge workshop is showing how to link the many necessary parts – from inception, through creative, technology and production, to traditional or digital distribution and real world business development.  These are the elements that will make your funding proposal rise above all the rest.

 

The agenda for this brand of storytelling covers more than 50 items.  Each is offered in a way that shows how to be a winner in the specific category, yet still blend them all into a meld that guarantees continuity and continuous improvement. 

 

Hello!  What’s Your Story?  Start with the concept.  Then perhaps personal, history, journalism, entertainment, corporate, advertising, military or even custom-built.

 

What Is Digital Storytelling?

 

If your associates can’t relate to Digital Storytelling as a genre, try Multimedia, Multiplatform, Transmedia, Webisodes, Branded Content, Branded Entertainment or even Native Advertising.  We offer these and many subcategories in the Thornhill Digital Storytelling inventory. 

 

Are you expected to integrate digital assets into your documentary funding proposal?  If you, your organization, office or company are planning a film, television show, radio special, Internet presentation or an interactive photo essay, the answer is yes!

 

To create a digital documentary using a competitive, multiplatform model, your timeline could be 3 years.  Also, expect that your expenses might creep to $2 Million or more. 

 

As we each grow beyond web sites, social media and blogs, Digital Storytelling is turning into a hotbed for collaborative development and ever-expanding production crews.  Team members learn from one another and your end product gains from the combined intellect, energy and projections.  This too, means greater expenses.

 

At the seminar, each participant will receive:

 

·         TDS NEWS, our detailed tutorial.

 

·         The Thornhill Digital Storytelling “50 Steps To Documentary Success” checklist and

up-to-date industry examples and news links. 

 

·         The publication lists “Everyday Resources” a slate of industry stalwarts providing no-cost,

e-mailed, daily information reports on individuals, companies and trends in digital media.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

 

With so much to consider, we determined that a model for transmedia development could serve our participants very well.  The title for our example is “What Are You Wearing New Year’s Eve?”  As a start, the outline begins with research, allows for fleshing out the concept, a riveting love story, then moving on to the first script. 

 

With these in hand, the search is on for a creative crew to take the story into production.

 

From our list of possible properties, we start with radio, then fashion photography and top it off with a clever music soundtrack.  The full workplan will be covered in our seminar!

Ask About The Maui Video Marketplace Concept

 

Our marketplace concept brings together all parts needed to build a film, a broadcast special or a production studio and collaborative cluster of film-related businesses to grow the region.

 

We start with a seminar series and publications. From Internet applications to digital television to digital channels, your career in the industry will be given a major boost by participating in the Thornhill Digital Storytelling seminar.

 

We can provide access to information supporting the global transition from analog to digital product distribution. 

 

The Maui Video Marketplace will grow from an idea to a location for training, educating clients and developing proprietary and contract media products.  The choices will include live events, classes, print media, audio and radio, video and television, digital and Internet, plus theatre and film industry connections.

The Maui Arts & Cultural Center (MACC)

 

When the Center opened the distinctive gates on its new performing arts complex

in 1994, it was the culmination of a 30-year dream for the Maui community.  This is

a gathering place where the community can celebrate creativity in personal and shared

experiences of the arts; It’s a world-class facility where popular and innovative

performing artists can be enjoyed ... connecting our community to the world;

It’s an educational resource, serving all ages from pre-school to adult,

enhancing arts education in schools and professional development for

teachers; It’s an exhibit space for visual artists from Hawai‘i, North America

and beyond; It’s a multi-disciplinary complex offering dance studio,

meeting room and function spaces for the community-at-large.

From The Wailuku Redevelopment Plan

The Economic Revitalization of Maui County’s Civic Center

 

Vision of Wailuku Town

The Wailuku of the next century will be a locus of commerce, culture and entertainment

in Central Maui. It will be a vibrant, clean and safe place to live, work or visit.

America Is A Great Arts Place (AGAP) has fostered a greater understanding of

economic development through the arts with a sophisticated awareness campaign.  The

team produced “Arts Tourism” panels in cities across the United States and a

collaborative effort with media professionals resulting a long-running,

news and interview-based radio show as AGAP Radio.
