“Every great film begins with a great story.”

SHOULDN'T DIE IN A DRAWER BECAUSE THE GATE TO PRODUCTION IS CLOSED.
The Adaptation Center is an AI-driven production platform for storytellers who already have a screenplay — but not the industry connections, budget, or studio backing to see it made. We produce your story with modern AI-assisted production tools, so your work reaches the screen and the audience it was written for.
07 – SERVICES
WHAT WE
DO.
Ten services across the full storyteller-to-screen lifecycle — from IP assessment and pitch materials to AI-driven film, feature, and series production. Every service is built to bypass the traditional development gate.
01
IP ASSESSMENT & POSITIONING
We evaluate your story’s screen potential — genre, audience, comparable films, and adaptation strategy.
02
HOLLYWOOD PITCH MATERIALS
Professional pitch decks and query letters designed for industry submissions.
03
SCREENPLAY DEVELOPMENT
Book-to-screenplay adaptation for features, television pilots, and series concepts.
04
CINEMATIC MARKETING
Concept trailers, visual presentations, and promotional materials for industry meetings.
05
PRODUCER & STUDIO OUTREACH
Targeted submissions to producers and production companies, with campaign management.
06
CREATIVE CONSULTATION
Ongoing guidance on story enhancement, character development, and commercial positioning.
07
AI SHORT FILM PRODUCTION
For storytellers with a screenplay but no path to a set — we produce your short (under 20 min) using AI-driven production: virtual casting, AI cinematography, and modern post. Festival-ready deliverables, without a decade in the queue.
08
AI FEATURE FILM PRODUCTION
Your full-length screenplay, produced. AI-assisted production makes it possible to bring a feature from page to screen without a nine-figure budget or a decade of “in development” — packaging, virtual production, sound, and delivery, all in one pipeline.
09
SERIES & EPISODIC (AI)
Multi-season narrative development produced with AI. Series bibles, pilots, and full episodic runs — a real path for storytellers whose serialized worlds have been sitting on a hard drive waiting for a studio call.
10
FILM FESTIVAL SUBMISSION
Strategic festival campaigns — Sundance, Cannes, Toronto, SXSW and beyond. From submission strategy to press kits and premiere planning.
