Content : Assignments : Development Package
This is going to be possibly the LAST document you create
for your package as it is a summary of everything that you
create for your package…
Vision Document– Sell me!
One page document.
This is a “sell” sheet and should be visually representative of the
series you are proposing.
“A vision document is a place for the creator to sell their short
form series to the evaluators beyond the three- page creative
document. It is an outline of the passion to create the series –
why does it need to be made now, what drives you to create it –
and what you hope it will accomplish when it is created and
released to audiences.
Inspire us with your enthusiasm!”
