As a social entrepreneurial group, we have chosen to create steward driven, profitable movies which carry themes of family, faith, and freedom and connect our skills with our passion.  However, we know the organizations and the dozens of opportunities within the scope of many companies to help point you in the right direction in enabling you to find success.  

Our process begins by listening to you when you are ready to go on this journey by first scheduling your professional phone appointment with a professional filmmaker, our founder, Dr. Kevin McAfee.  There will be "seed costs" along the way, followed by a professional review, evaluation and adjudication of your work. This is your investment and the process begins the film's journey. 

​​You will find there are steps to begin any cinematic dream, and you will be required to fund the early stages.  We work with authors when a screenplay is completed in securing financiers. This is the most complicated arena and requires a team of excellent advisors where we may even guide content creators. Every film and journey is different.  The key is to find the right financiers and this takes the most time after the creative journey is prepared for shopping and at times, this all happens simultaneously based on where you are in the creative process.   

Be sure to watch our YouTube show to understand more of our important steps toward making your dream a reality. Our film production partner is Oceania Omnimedia. This is NOT an "option" program based on

OPENING DOORS FOR CREATIVITY 
​Our team was invited to serve on Lipscomb University's Film Advisory Board for their graduate school when we were petitioning the university to start a film school for graduate students. As a human rights advocate, our leader is a strong proponent for education and is a mission-driven filmmaker.
Now, you can have access to "Hollywood" in a way like never before!. Many just want the chance to share about their film, but in the past it was almost impossible to open any doors.  So now, our team is changing the game here! We are opening up our own phone lines, exposing our team's expertise, providing training and helping others.  Our fees are quoted in a custom design. We work with real creators in helping them get started and have capacity for more.  We can't make dozens of films alone, but with new film team members we now can. Could you be our next film team member?

​Original Content is so important to us and our partners. Film companies, publishers, networks, and distributors  are looking for the next "outstanding story," and our table is ready to review, adjudicate and work in film development today.

​DO YOU HAVE OUR NEXT FILM INSIDE YOUR STORY? Remember, the story has to be amazing and created with such artistic beauty, so the "evergreen" model is our diagnostic advantage by design.  We are looking for true stories right now -- documentaries, feature films, animation and culture-changing messages for our portfolio!  Let's make it happen together!

Then, standing along with music legend, Larry Gatlin! ​Our team worked with LIGHTWORKERS, helping promote the 2016 version of BEN HUR with Morgan Freeman. Our team's 2012 feature film, LAST OUNCE OF COURAGE, was endorsed by Chuck Norris and established a partner relationship with FOX, which continues today. We have compassion toward people from all walks of life and desire to tell great stories. GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROFESSIONALLY REVIEW YOUR STORY TODAY.

​Creating stories with well-designed character arcs so filled with memorable moments and acted with proficiency are challenges for every film. There are a lot of bad films made, simply because the story is just not good.  It's not about how much footage you shoot, but the cinematic quality and artistic expressions of many collaborators working toward a unified artistic excellence.  Not everyone can afford to go to film graduate schools, so this is our your chance to know how you score.
Everything begins with story, so what is yours?
​                               Our Roundtable Is Waiting!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

​Our author/content creator seminars are coming again soon and everything begins when you schedule your first phone appointment with us.  You are not alone when trying to take your creative project to a larger cinematic stage.  You will need a proper structure, the right investors, a good fiscal strategy, excellent story preparation, script doctors, the proper production team, cast and crew.  

​Screenwriting can take ninety to one hundred and twenty days with film production taking years, but with every journey, you must begin by taking the first step.  Let's go! 

​WE CURRENTLY ARE LOOKING FOR MORE FILMS. THERE ARE FEES FOR OUR FILM ADVISORY SERVICES, AND AN APPROVAL PROCESS FOR MOVING FORWARD.

STEP ONE - Contact us at info@books2film.net. Our team will want to interview you and answer some preliminary questions.

STEP TWO - Our entire team will work with you on your "primary work as a mentor, or define what are the most economical steps to a future in film..  You will then fill out a "submission form," and we will send you specific documents based on your first introduction.  This is an important step for us as we begin.

STEP THREE - Once this is completed, the first phone call is scheduled with our Chairman.  Contact us now to take your first step into film-making.  Lynn McAfee will be waiting to take your call and help schedule your connection at 615-406-0539.

Filmmaking is always about team, so you need to know we believe many people are to be thanked!  Do you have a story which could help people, please call us now! We look forward to hearing from you today. 
Our team received a special recognition award at a recent festival from the founders for the team's collective work on an award winning film from our group. This wonderful film festival took audiences around the world experiencing great stories. Awards don't happen without heroic people whose stories inspire us all.  Do you have a story that would inspire others?  Just stop and think what makes your story unique?
​
We are ready to talk with you now.  All you have to do is just give us a call today.  Our team has gone from receiving awards from the frontier Southwest into frozen blizzards in the North East. In the past year, our team has been working from the Eastern Seaboard stretching to Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma, plus all the way to the sunshine West Coast in LA with our roundtable!  

​Leaders were also in Missouri and the momentum continues with team members in meetings in Tennessee, Alabama, Washington, Georgia, Colorado, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Kansas City.  The team is accessible to you, wherever you are and we represent people from every race, Asian, European, African American, South American, Australian, and domestic. Respecting the "family of man" is a reflection of what we believe for all people, everywhere!!!

YOU HAVE SCROLLED THIS FAR, SO REMEMBER THESE IMPORTANT NOTES FOR YOUR SUCCESS...
​(ESPECIALLY TO AUTHORS, PLAYWRIGHTS & SCREENWRITERS)

We have been approved providing adjudication from boutique self-publishing organizations to the largest publishers in the world.  Remember, our standards of excellence are high; and, we are a "trusted team" by corporate America and Hollywood. One of the most important assets we carry ecompasses the team of educational backgrounds and film experiences of over one dozen filmmakers. 

We are a professional group of film veterans and have amazing writers, directors, producers and executive producers who have been involved within our team working with major blockbusters in film over many decades. 

If you believe you are "entitled", or want something for nothing, you have come to the wrong place. We are a "veteran team" so make sure you screen organizations as there are many fraud-based people who are trying to "scam" authors and writers. Our WGA screenwriters are serious about our craft and analysis when you receive your written and oral report. You do not have to worry about a "form letter of declination" anymore; and, deserve to be treated with respect.  

In fact, you will see exactly the strengths and weaknesses of your primary work, with precision as your book, play or screenplay is professionally reviewed and scored. 

We are associated with University educators and Film Schools who carry graduate and doctoral degrees; however, our team does not stop there. The reality is we have made films working in both major and mini-studios and the competitive spirit is high, so allow our team to get you "over the hump" with detailed precision.   

You are required to seed the "review" process by your personal investments.  Ask us about our process .  Plus,  we do have financiers, capital experts and veteran Executive Producers.  Once your project is fully reviewed, we will contact them for you in our stable about working with you professionally.  (We do NOT option screenplays; but, if they pass through our process, we are interested in negotiations and/or marketing them to the industry if mutually agreed upon.)

Not all works submitted will pass the test.  Currently, we have approximately 8-11% of the content creators who will find success.  These creators understand the professionalism and are willing to invest because they believe in their product so much. If you do not believe in what you are doing; and, are not willing to have your "works" reviewed by a third party to improve your product, this is not the ideal place for you.  Some people just don't want to be reviewed and in reality, this is not a good practice when even the best will want their project reviewed. 

We are looking for three to four more films to fill a new film slate led by a new Executive Producing team. So, this is a very real and substantitive opportunity.  Do not waste people's time if you are not confident in your product.  We will not waste yours. However, there is no "fast track" here as this may take several months in duration, depending on the findings, conclusions and recommendations .

Overseas opportunities are complex due to communication.  You will have to schedule a phone call with our team.  Your first phone call to our staff is free; but, after this, there will be an assessed hourly fee for advisory services. 

Contact us today and we look forward to meeting you.  

FILMMAKERS ROUNDTABLE extends its congratulations to the authors making their dreams a reality!
