sponsor our tv episodes
Add YOUR Name to the Film Credits of Our Episodes!
SPONSOR ONE, SIX, OR ALL 13 EPISODES!
The challenge with a pure documentary is always funding and distribution. Even if you solve one, you may never solve the other! We amended the documentary format to create a "docu-series TV show" with a half-hour to one-hour episodes. We offer multiple sources of funding, including film credit sponsors for each episode;
- Sponsorship with your name in film credits; two episodes for $100, any six (6) for $300 Canadian or all thirteen (13) episodes for $500 Canadian.
- Add your name as a Co-Producer or Co-Executive Producer. (See below).
- Selected product placement within the episodes. (Extra cost).
- Selected advertising video commercials and mentions within the episodes. (Extra cost)
- Printed advertising, linked to the digital magazine, and website, within the episodes and linked to that episode, both at the end of the episode and on our website. (Extra cost).
- An in-depth article about you and your mission on why you chose to be involved in our TV show and how it affects your life and the lives of others by being involved. (Optional).
All of these video documentary episodes need sponsors, who can add their name to the film credits on two episodes for $100 Cdn, any 6 for $300 Canadian, and all 13 episodes for $500 Canadian.
Add your name, or company name, to the film credits shown for each episode and your name on this page, and show you support that documentary and topic. You can include your name, OR in memory of someone who may have been affected by that topic, and the situation or event we cover in that episode.
We will raise our needed capital through revenue from our partner companies and sponsors for each documentary. All of them will be on our website, their own documentary sponsors, and will be featured on our documentary channel worldwide for maximum exposure.
We are raising funds to purchase equipment, film, edit, and distribute the documentary television episodes and funding will help us secure equipment and staff to produce the videos, as well as expand our website, as soon as more funding allows.
Additional funding will also allow us to create more episodes, update our equipment, and to purchase a vehicle with a trailer, complete with logos and sponsors. Everyone who makes a donation outlined below will be listed in the film credits of that documentary episode and thanked on social media. When you become a sponsor, please tell us what documentaries you wish to be listed on in the credits if not on all 13 episodes.

We offer selected product placements with or without brand integration (see next panel) in our TV shows. For our purposes, product placement shows the product in the scene without any mention of the product or the brand and is less expensive than adding brand integration as well.
To be considered for inclusion in our TV shows or films we work on a retainer basis. We charge a flat fee of $1,500 Canadian to consider your products, and then sign an NDA with you, which protects your company, designs, and OUR company, so we can discuss freely whether these are a match. IF SO, then we apply the $1,500 towards the fee you would pay to have your products included, both for product placement and/or brand integration.
If we do NOT use the product, the entire $1,500 is returned within five (5) business days back to the credit card used to complete the retainer payment.
We have three TV shows and three feature films where we can consider your products. The retainer is paid ONE TIME, to be considered for ALL projects. Should we agree to use your products we are paid as follows, once we agree upon an amount. (Note, all pricing is in Canadian dollars which saves about 25% due to the favorable exchange rate of US to Canadian dollars.) For example, the $1,500 Canadian retainer is about $1,125 US and can be paid online with any credit card to get started).
NOTE: UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE THE RETAINER IS NOT THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE PRODUCT PLACEMENT FEE, IT IS A RETAINER/DEPOSIT.
PAYABLE AS FOLLOWS:
25% of the amount with the initial contract securing your products in our project (LESS RETAINER).
25% of the amount when we provide proof of inclusion within the script of that project.
25% of the amount when the proof of filming has taken place with that product included.
25% of the amount when the film or TV show has completed final editing and sent to you to view.
IF we use the product and then cut ALL scenes where it was to be shown, ALL monies paid are returned to you.

We offer selected sponsorship opportunities for advertising in our films and TV shows, in the insertion of products for brand placement and/or brand integration.
We will provide more details on a custom-quote basis for each film or TV show, depending on the budget and distribution platform. There is no fair way to determine the cost of product placement or brand integration in advance that is fair to both parties, so we accept a nominal retainer until the details are all solved for each film. For more general information see the panels to the right which described the offer in more detail.
The advertising rates PER EPISODE for "Help Us Save Lives" TV show only are listed below.
To advertise in ALL 13 episodes we will quote a rate once we have the details finalized as outlined above. In the interim if you or your company chooses to advertise in all 13 episodes of the "Help Us Save Lives TV Show," we will accept a nominal retainer of $500 Canadian which serives as a deposit towards that advertising package.
The same retainer/deposit may be used to reserve your commercials in "Dad Downstairs" and "Miracles for Millions" TV shows.
As with the product placement, should you decide NOT to advertise in that TV show, the retainer/deposit is refunded in full.
We reserve the right to refuse ANY product, service, company or advertisement if we feel it does not meet the criteria for that episode.
