SPONSOR TWO, 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;
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.

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 four 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).

25% of the amount when the proof of filming has taken place with that product included.
