Solaire PitchUp Creator Centre

Develop stronger projects. Understand the industry. Get ready for the right opportunity.

The Solaire PitchUp Creator Centre brings together practical guidance, professional resources and insights from people working across film and television.

Whether you are developing your first screenplay, looking for a producer, building a production package or preparing to approach finance and market partners, the Creator Centre helps you understand what your project needs next.

Where Are You Now?

Choose the route that best reflects what you need.

1

I Have a Screenplay or Project

3

I Want to Understand the Industry

Different Projects Need Different Things

You do not need to be a producer to use Solaire PitchUp.

A writer seeking their first producer should not be expected to arrive with the same materials as a production company seeking finance or distribution. PitchUp identifies where a project currently stands, what the creator is seeking and what is genuinely required for the next stage.

Projects can enter the PitchUp process at different points. The objective is to help each project become ready for its next credible opportunity, rather than burden creators with materials they do not yet need.

Practical tools for strengthening the creative work and understanding what it will take to produce.

STORY DIAGNOSTIC

Get Ready to Pitch

Understand what you are pitching, what you are asking for and whether the project is ready for its next credible opportunity.

PITCHING & POSITIONING

Can you define your project, position it in the market, establish why it should exist now, explain why you should tell it and make a clear, credible ask?

PITCHUP READINESS SCORECARD

Assess where your project currently stands across creative, commercial, production, rights, team, finance and package readiness, and identify what needs to happen next.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOUR PROJECT IS ACCEPTED BY SOLAIRE PITCHUP?

STEP 3

SOLAIRE PITCHUP BUILDS AND PREPARES YOUR PACKAGE

You provide the relevant source material. Solaire PitchUp structures, edits and positions it into a professional presentation ready for the appropriate catalogue, presentation and industry opportunities.

EXPLORING FUNDING & FINANCE

There is more than one way to finance a screen project.

Depending on the project, its stage, subject, territory and production structure, funding may come from very different sources.

Development grants · Film funds · Regional and national funding · Tax credits and rebates · Equity investment · Private investment · Broadcasters and commissioners · Pre-sales · Minimum guarantees · International coproduction · Sales agents · Distribution advances · Sponsorship and brand partnerships · Charities and foundations · Subject-specific grants · Crowdfunding · Debt, gap and bridge finance

A project dealing with health, sustainability, education, heritage or another specific subject may also qualify for funding or partnerships beyond the traditional film industry.

You will rarely need all of these. The important question is which routes are appropriate for your project at its current stage.

Over the coming weeks and months, the Creator Centre will explore these funding and finance routes individually, explaining what they are, how they work and when they become relevant.

Meet the PitchUp Panel

PitchUp brings creators closer to the people who understand how projects are assessed, developed, financed, produced and brought to audiences.

This section will feature conversations with professionals from across film and television, sharing practical perspectives on what they look for, what creators frequently misunderstand and what helps a project move forward.
