The Development process starts with the idea.  This is where the story takes shape.  Whether the project is a narrative or documentary, there are key elements to consider in structuring the movie.  We believe in traditional storytelling concepts and fundamentals that integrate many of the classic archetypes, as demonstrated in Joseph Campbell's Hero of a Thousand Faces, and further applied to film by two wonderful books, The Writer's Journey and Myth and the Movies.  Filmmaking for Change applies these ideas to social impact films, with an emphasis on documentary...and this is just the seed of Development.

Many other subcategories fall into the Development phase, including:

• Scheduling
  
• Budgeting
  
• Fundraising
  
• Cast and Crew Selection
  
• Location Consideration
  
• Social Action Strategy
