As previously mentioned, the Next Davinci, SmartGurlz debut into children’s educational content has been met with high interest in Hollywood.BET Studios and Gabrielle Union’s production company, I’ll have Another have joined the team and presented the pitch to major networks. While we did not get a buy, the team recently re-grouped and has decided to pursue another route via Cat Carson, Creative Artists Agency VP who represents Gabrielle Union. For example, Roku showed interest in our show for family viewing but did not have the available funds to pursue.Instead, we have decided to seek a technology company sponsor. By partnering with leading tech companies like Samsung, Verizon, and T-Mobile (and others), we can leverage their resources and expertise to create compelling content that entertains, educates, and empowers the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers. Associate Producer of the Next DaVinci show, Shant Tutunjian, was the creative founder of Legendary on HBO Max (3 seasons) and had raised more than $1M in sponsorship funds for his show per season.Through strategic marketing, strong financial management, and a commitment to quality, we are confident that the show will achieve both commercial success for the sponsor and positive social impact.The Next DaVinci show will feature a diverse cast of characters embarking on exciting adventures that involve solving real-world problems using STEM principles. Each episode will focus on a specific STEM topic, ranging from robotics and coding to environmental science and space exploration.Collaboration with leading tech companies will be integral to the success of the venture. These partnerships will not only provide financial support but also access to cutting-edge technology, industry expertise (judges), and promotional opportunities.In an increasingly technology-driven world, there is a growing demand for STEM education to prepare children for future career opportunities. Parents, educators and even future employers recognize the importance of STEM skills in fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation. Despite the demand, there is a shortage of high-quality STEM content tailored specifically for children and families. By filling this gap, our TV show has the potential to attract a large audience and establish itself as a leading educational program in the children's media landscape.Major expenses will include production costs, talent assistance, marketing expenses, and administrative overhead. However, the support of tech sponsors will help offset some of these costs, ensuring the financial viability of the venture.If you have connections with suitable tech companies who may be interested in becoming a sponsor, please DM us.
