    Analytical Trial Service for Documentary Films

    Imagicus Solutions is launching a new analytical service for film production companies with documentary films in post-production intended for release in 2025 or 2026.

    The movie should have a provable market release or sales strategy. We’re glad to offer two trial analytical service packs free of charge to the companies

    1. whose films have a higher probability of commercial distribution;
    2. who want to have a stronger emotional influence on the audience;
    3. who are interested in making changes in the final version of the film based on the recommendation if they find them useful;
    4. and who will give written feedback about our services.

    Procedures

    1. Based on the application process and additional questions, Imagicus sends an offer to selected films with the agreement draft. If the production company agrees with the terms and conditions, the agreement is signed.
    2. The Production company provides the downloadable link to the full film (with color grading and sound correction).
    3. Imagicus researchers analyze the film according to their standard procedures.
    4. Imagicus representative conducts interviews with the director and producer of the selected film.
    5. Based on the Interviews (intentions’ indicators) and Imagicus analysis a final analysis paper is created and provided to the producer.
    6. The final research paper is published on the website of Imagicus as a work sample. The parts that can contain sensitive information that is not a subject of publication will be excluded from the text of the publication and replaced with a note “Sensitive Content, not a subject of public dissemination”.
    7. The producer fills out 2 evaluation forms – one within 2 weeks after the analysis paper is provided, and another one 6 months after the premiere of the film.
