A sizzle can play an instrumental part in securing funding and helps others gain a better understanding of where you want to take your project.
It must leave the viewer / commissioner / investor with the feeling you want your audience to experience when watching the show. Whether that’s energised and epic, thoughtful and intrigued, or totally blown away with MAFS-level drama and comedy…
Whatever creative idea you have, sometimes a stunning pitch deck or poster doesn’t quite cut through and a sizzle can help you go that step further selling the idea visually and tonally, capturing its overall energy and ensuring it aligns with the individual sales teams, channels / networks.
I love bringing a Director’s, Writer’s or a Development Team’s vision to life, so reach out if you have a project you want to discuss.

“Alana's work has been nothing short of exceptional. Working with her on our sizzle for a feature documentary was an absolute pleasure – her instincts, creativity, and professionalism elevated the project in every way.
She brings incredible skill, sharp storytelling instincts, and a generosity of time and effort that make all the difference. The results speak for themselves, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!”
