Our Slate, From First Draft to Worldwide Release
Sunscope develops, produces, finishes and licenses its own films and series, and partners with filmmakers on theirs. Every title on our slate sits in one of four stages. Each stage is a different way to get involved, whether you’re an investor, buyer, actor, crew member or filmmaker.
How a project moves
The Four Stages
| Stage | What it means | Who it’s for |
|---|---|---|
| Development | The story is being written, packaged and financed. | Investors, talent, co-producers |
| Filming | Cameras are rolling, or about to. | Cast, crew, locations, sponsors |
| Post-Production | The film is being edited, scored and finished. | Sales agents, distributors, festivals |
| Available Rights | The finished title is ready to license. | Buyers, streamers, broadcasters, distributors |
Development
Where projects are born. Titles in development are being written and packaged: scripts are rewritten, budgets and schedules are built, directors and cast are attached, and financing is put together. A project usually spends longer here than in any other stage.
Get involved: Accredited investors and co-producers can request information on projects in development. Actors, directors and writers can reach out about attachments.

Filming
Cameras are rolling. Titles in this stage are in pre-production or principal photography: crew is hired, locations are locked, and the film is being shot, much of it at our Sherman Oaks studios.
Get involved: Cast, crew, locations and brand partners can reach out about current and upcoming shoots.

Post-Production
The film takes its final shape. Titles in post are being edited, scored, color graded, mixed and prepared for delivery. This is when festival plans are set and sales conversations begin.
Get involved: Sales agents, distributors and festival programmers can request screeners and release timelines.
