Forward turns a book into a thirty to sixty second trailer, created, managed and delivered by experienced human filmmakers. It plays on the screen above the display pile, lives as a code on the jacket, and becomes the publisher's social campaign. One story, every screen.
A short, beautiful film plays above the display pile and lives as a scannable code on the jacket. The book sells itself before it is opened.
The same trailer becomes the publisher's campaign, cut for TikTok, Reels, YouTube and the title page online. One asset, every channel.
The author gives us the scene they love. We turn it into a screenplay and a finished film, art directed by our team and, where the story calls for it, voiced by a real narrator.
e.g. History1:31
e.g. Fantasy
e.g. Children's
We research the period, study the artefacts, paintings and primary sources, and consult specialists where it matters, so every frame rings true.
We design the creatures, the armies and the magic from your author's vision, rendered with the scale and finish of a feature trailer.
We bring the artwork to life with gentle motion and warmth, calm enough for story time, and magical enough to make a child point at the screen.
A simple process, and a screen-ready film at the end of it, ready to play above the display pile, scan from the jacket, and travel everywhere the book is sold.
The author shares the moment they love most, or their idea for the trailer.
We shape it into a tight screenplay built for sixty seconds of screen time.
We produce it, art directed by our team and, where the story calls for it, voiced by a real narrator.
You receive the in-store loop, the jacket QR code, and the social cut-downs.
