Questions

About book adaptations.

Do you keep my manuscript?
It stays in your account, used only to make your films, and you can delete it.
How much for a whole book?
Each episode is priced by its length. A two-minute episode starts at $45.
Can I do them out of order?
Yes. Pick any chapters, in any order, whenever you like.
Is this a trailer or the book?
Either. A short episode reads as a trailer; longer ones tell the chapter.
