STAGE ONE:
DEVELOPMENT LAB

Development through CFC Features is specifically tailored to the precise needs of the key creative team and provides creative, practical and professional mentorship in theatrical feature filmmaking. Development begins with a focus on script, with the Writer, Director and Producer all participating where necessary.  Once the script has been more fully realized, focus will shift to the Director’s rendering strategy and to the development of a solid and complete Production Package/Strategy with both the director and producer.

STAGE TWO:
PRODUCTION LAB

In order to be considered for Production Financing, the key creative team and project must first successfully complete the Development Lab through CFC Features and meet the goals set out at the onset of Development.  Only projects that have successfully completed Development, as determined by the Director of CFC Features, will be considered for Production Financing.  Full mentorship from CFC Features continues throughout the production and post-production process.

STAGE THREE:
E1 ENTERTAINMENT DISTRIBUTION LAB

As of September 2009, CFC Features will guarantee domestic and international distribution for its new films, bringing our filmmakers' stories to screens around the world. E1 Entertainment is a leading independent entertainment content owner that acquires film, television and music rights and exploits these rights in all media in more than 190 countries.

Filmmakers will benefit enormously from the involvement and mentorship of broadcast and theatrical distribution executives and creatives starting in the Development Lab and throughout the Production Lab. CFC Features will ensure that the production teams will continue to be mentored during the domestic and international marketing and distribution stages of their feature film.
