Prepared for Farm Rescue

The Cabin Fever Workshop

Get your film right the first time.

One two-hour session turns a good idea into a clear plan: what the film says, who it is for, and how it gets made.

Following up on our conversation on November 6

2-Hour Strategy Session

Focused, guided, and built around Farm Rescue's goals.

Custom Cabin Fever Blueprint

Delivered within two weeks. Yours to keep.

Zero Guesswork

The message, the audience, and the creative direction, defined.

In Person or on Zoom

Everyone joins from wherever they are.

The problem

Why most film projects stall.

Everyone agrees a great film would help. The harder part is agreeing on what it should be. Without one plan the whole team supports, the same things tend to happen:

Weeks lost to meetings that circle back
Board, staff, and supporters each picturing a different film
Good ideas that never become one clear message
A finished film that is fine, but not quite right
Time and money lost to revisions

Most teams do not have a video problem.

They have an alignment problem.

The workshop

Introducing the Cabin Fever Workshop.

A focused two-hour session that gets your team aligned on what the film says, who it is for, and how to approach it. We guide the conversation. You and your team do the thinking. A short questionnaire comes first, so the two hours go to the real conversation.

No endless meetings. No crossed wires. A clear path forward. We work through five questions.

Why
What does this film need to do for Farm Rescue? A first gift, a larger gift, a referral, or all three?
Who
Who are we speaking to? What do they remember, and what would move them to act?
Where
Where will it live? YouTube, streaming, social, events? One film, or several short versions built from one idea?
How
Should it inspire, inform, or both? What should someone feel in the first five seconds?
What
The one thing it must say. And what it must never look or sound like.

Everyone who shapes the message should have a seat: your executive director, your marketing team, and whoever owns fundraising. We have run these with teams of two to eight.

Fit

Is this right for Farm Rescue?

A good fit if you

Are planning a film and want help shaping the message
Want your team aligned before any production begins
Are tired of vague direction and rounds of revisions
Want a film that connects and moves people to act

Not sure yet what film you need? That is a good place to start. The workshop helps you find it.

Not a fit if you

Want to start filming right away
Are looking for camera or do-it-yourself tips
Expect a film to fix an unclear message
Cannot get key decision-makers involved

The process

How the workshop works.

We meet

In person or on Zoom, whichever fits your team. Your team can join from different places.
We dive into your story

Two hours on the core message, the audience, the emotional pull, and what works on film and what does not.
You get your Blueprint

Within two weeks: creative direction, production options tied to real budgets, and a plan for the film. It is yours to keep, whether or not you hire Cabin 6.

What you walk away with

Clarity, in writing.

One direction

Everyone in the room hears each other out. You leave aligned, not with five different ideas of the film. And no surprises on shoot day.

A Blueprint built around you

Creative direction, the audience, and the one idea the film is built on, shaped by your goals and your supporters.

Options tied to real budgets

Two or three ways to make it, from the leanest version that still does the job to a stronger one. You will know what to plan for.

Your time back

After the workshop, your part is mostly done. We handle the rest.

How it has gone for others

Two teams that started in the same room.

Manufacturing | Brandon, SD

FlexIT USA

“The workshop was useful. It brought value by allowing people to voice their opinions, hear each other out, and align around a shared direction. The discussion helped clarify the opportunity and made it clear the team is largely on the same page.”

Rural telecom cooperative | South Dakota

Valley FiberCom

“I feel like you were reading our minds.”

“We should have done this a long time ago.”

Investment and guarantee

One number.

$2,500

Credited in full toward any production with Cabin 6, if you move forward within 60 days.
If you choose someone else, the Blueprint is still yours.

If it does not bring clarity, we refund it.

If the workshop does not give you clarity, confidence, and real value, you get your money back. No risk. No pressure. Just clarity.

Common questions

What can be done in two hours?

More than most teams expect. The questionnaire comes first, so we start with your thinking already on the table. By the end, the message, the audience, and the direction are clear enough to put in writing.

What if we do not know what kind of film we need?

That is common, and it is a good reason to hold the workshop. Figuring that out is the point.

Do we have to meet in person?

No. Zoom works well, and it lets everyone join from wherever they are. In person is available if you would like it.

Who should attend?

Whoever shapes the message or signs off on it. Teams of two to eight have worked well.

Do we have to use Cabin 6 for production?

No. The Blueprint is yours to keep and use with anyone. If you move forward with us within 60 days, the $2,500 is credited toward your production, whichever option you choose.

How does this fit with our four-story partnership?

It runs alongside it. Nothing about the four stories changes.

From here

Four steps, and the first one is small.

Tell me roughly what timing works for your team.
We pick two hours with the right people in the room.
We hold the workshop, in person or on Zoom.
Within two weeks the Blueprint arrives, and you decide what comes next with real options in hand.

Kaleigh, when you have a sense of the timing, just let me know and I will work backward from that date. I would be glad to answer any questions first.
