Feature Blueprint
Every feature needs more than a great idea. It needs a plan.
The Feature Blueprint helps filmmakers make the creative, financial, production, audience, festival, and distribution decisions that will shape their film's journey—from development through release.

Why
Most filmmakers develop the screenplay first and figure out everything else later. But decisions about audience, scale, financing, production, festivals, and distribution are all connected. The Feature Blueprint brings those pieces together early in the process, helping filmmakers identify opportunities, avoid costly missteps, and create a practical roadmap for moving forward efficiently.

What

Filmmaker Feedback
"Jon's been making feature and documentary films for decades. He ran the AFI Festival and was one of the original founders of the Slamdance Festival. If you're producing a feature film and looking for success in distribution, Jon is the Grand Master. He breaks it down step by step and gives you a map that can carry you directly to the finish line. The Feature Blueprint Lab is that map, and it's brilliant."
