YOUR STORY DESERVES TO BE SEEN
Great projects need more than a pitch deck. They need the right opportunities.
A finished screenplay is an intellectual property asset. Getting it made requires an entirely different set of decisions. Solaire PitchUp helps creators make that transition: from a story ready to be read to a project ready to be considered, packaged, financed and produced.
Creators enter Solaire PitchUp at different stages. You may have a screenplay and need a producer, be seeking an option or acquisition, be developing the project as a writer-producer, or already have a production package requiring finance, commissioning, sales or distribution. Solaire PitchUp helps identify the appropriate next route for your project.
Solaire PitchUp provides professional project preparation and targeted industry engagement appropriate to your project's next stage.

FROM SCREENPLAY TO PROJECT
There is no single route from screenplay to production. Solaire PitchUp identifies what stage your project has reached, what is already in place and what needs to happen next.
PROJECT READY
PRODUCER READY
PACKAGE READY
FINANCE READY
MARKET READY
Your project does not need to reach every stage before entering PitchUp. The materials and readiness requirements depend on what you are seeking.
WRITER SEEKING PRODUCER
Develop and present the screenplay professionally → identify suitable producers → targeted introductions
OPTION OR SALE
Position the screenplay and creator → identify appropriate producers/buyers → pursue option or acquisition
WRITER-PRODUCER
Develop the project → build the package → production planning → finance readiness → market
PRODUCER / PACKAGED PRODUCTION
Assess existing package → address remaining gaps → finance / commissioning / sales / distribution
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Your submission should be professional and ready for review. Here's what we need:
Project Title
Format
Logline
Synopsis
Your Role in the Project
Project Status
What You Are Seeking
Contact Information
We assess projects according to their actual stage. A writer seeking a producer is not expected to provide the same production, finance or market materials as a packaged production seeking investment or distribution.
SELECTION CRITERIA
Projects are assessed according to their creative strength, professional presentation, commercial potential and readiness for the route being pursued.
Originality
Strength of Concept
Story & Screenplay Quality
Creator Authority
Audience / Market Potential
Quality of Presentation
Stage-Appropriate Readiness
CHOOSE THE RIGHT ROUTE
Solaire PitchUp readiness and finance readiness are different. A strong screenplay can be ready to approach producers long before it is ready to approach financiers.
SEEKING A PRODUCER
Story, screenplay, rights, creator authority and professional presentation.
SEEKING OPTION / ACQUISITION
Strong screenplay, clear ownership, creator positioning and targeted buyer/producer strategy.
SEEKING FINANCE
Developed package, production schedule, budget, finance plan, attachments and appropriate due diligence.
SEEKING COMMISSIONING / SALES / DISTRIBUTION
Developed production proposition with the commercial and market information relevant to that route.
PitchUp asks for what is materially relevant to the next decision.
