in addition to our own production, at contraria. we offer these services:

Script analysis and consulting

With our experience as screenwriters and producers, we know the techniques for writing a good script and understand the industry. We offer you an analysis of your script and suggestions for creative and industrial improvement.

Branded content for brands

We create stories so that your brand's message reaches your audience and move them. Our short film "Lion Dreams" is one example.

Production services for foreign and national productions

If you need to shoot a film project in Catalonia, we can take care of the production. Catalonia offers versatile locations: from the sea to the mountains, from the snow of the Pyrenees to the arid Delta de l'Ebre, villages steeped in history, Romanesque, Gothic and Modernist architecture, and cutting-edge buildings. And we have the best team to make it happen.

Preparation or consultancy for project submissions to grants, television pre-sales, and other funding sources

If you are ready to move on to the funding phase but do not know how it works, or do not have time to prepare all the applications, we can do it for you! Or if you prefer to prepare it yourself, we can also advise you by reviewing the specific aspects you need.

We have experience applying to development labs such as La Incubadora, Berlinale Talents, Ekran+, D'A Film Lab; to grants from ICAA, ICEC, MEDIA or Eurimages; to television broadcasters such as TVE or TV3; and preparing pitch-decks for sales agents, distributors or VOD platforms.

Pitch-deck consulting

A pitch-deck is the project's cover letter, the first thing the industry will see and, therefore, what will give them an idea of its potential. That is why it is very important to prepare a good pitch-deck that accurately represents what you have in mind for your project, both visually and in terms of the written text. We offer consulting services to improve your pitch-deck or help you create one from scratch: thinking about the best structure, what sections to add, what information to include or what is best not to mention, choosing the images to illustrate it... And all this, adapting it according to who the pitch-deck is aimed at: grants, television broadcasters, the crew...

Here you can read the article written by producer Laura Egidos Plaja on "How to make a good pitch-deck", winner of the the best dossier award at the PMP 2024.

Budgeting for short films, feature films, and documentaries

If you have a script and want to estimate how much it will cost to start looking for funding, we can break down your script to estimate how many days/weeks of shooting you would need, what resources, and elaborate a budget that fits the project as you imagine it. Making a budget is not just about putting numbers together, it's about designing how we will make the film and how we want it to look like.

If you already have a budget but there have been changes to the script or you are not sure if it is realistic, we can also revise it and help you adjust it.

Consulting on financing strategies and feasibility of film projects

Once you have written a script, how can you make it a reality? Where do you start? We offer advice on the feasibility of the project in the industry and propose a financing strategy: what possible funding sources you should consider, at what stage of the project and in what order.

Project video-pitch (scriptwriting, recording and editing)

A video-pitch is a very useful visual tool for pre-selling an audiovisual project: it combines an oral explanation of the project with an audiovisual montage of clips from reference films, offering a very clear and concise idea of your project in just 3 minutes. We can help you with all or some of the stages involved in creating a video-pitch: scriptwriting (summarising the key elements of the project); filming you giving this explanation on a set as if it were a professional interview; and editing the recorded ‘interview’ with clips from reference films for your project.
