SAR
If your Development Presentation (DP) meets the needs of the investor or industry executive you've submitted to, their next step is to generate a SAR before reading your Polished Script.
* What is a SAR? A script analysis report (SAR) is generated prior to reading your entire script. This 1-page report evaluates and scores what information executives want revealed in the first 10 pages of your script and if your script meets the needs of the executive you're submitting to. This report also determines if your script is accepted for review or rejected.
* What is the benefit for me to have an SAR for my script? Script Analysis Report (SAR) evaluates and scores what information executives want revealed in first 10 pages of your script. This report determines if entire script will be reviewed.
Note: a SAR may not seem important, but if the first 10 pages of your script does not reveal answers to creative, production, and business directives investors and industry executives want answers to, it’s a strong possibility that’s where the review process will end.
