CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT INK. Congratulates Executive Producer Akiva Goldsman, Producer Bader Alwazzan, Screenwriter Reed Fish, and Director Zachary Adler on the premier of the feature film "I'M REED FISH" at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival.

WHAT WE OFFER
 
The Creative Development Ink team has over twenty years of proven professional experience in film, television, feature animation & theatre. We work with established writers, directors and producers as well as first time writers and creative talent.  We work regularly with both above the line and below the line talent providing an unprecedented level of professionalism and a keen appreciation for confidentiality and discretion that are key ingredient in our success.
 
A new service offered by CDI, and one getting a great deal of attention in the industry, is coaching for the pitch.  We work with writers and other creative talent in preparing their story for the perfect pitch.  Whether it's writers pitching to producers, or creative producers pitching to development executives or investors, we can prepare you to make the best presentation possible.   Our PERFECT PITCH program is based on feedback from top industry professionals, and will give you and your team a much better understanding of what producers and investors do want to hear, and what they don't!
 
FEE STRUCTURE
 
We work exclusively on retainer, with contracts ranging from a minimum of thirty days to a full run of production.  
 
The fees for all of our services are based on the scope of work, the production budget and, in certain circumstances, a project's distribution/exhibition venue.   We also have a sliding scale for freelance writers and artists working on spec.
