Many established production companies have POD Deals (Production Overall Deals) which means they already have output deals, first look deals or are producing content for a specific studio, network or streamer.  These are trusted production companies that they are looking to first for content and so can often be a great place to look when you have an idea of the ideal home for your project.

Large studios and streamers want to work with companies they trust and have a proven track record and while that might not be you right now, one avenue is to get the attention of a production company with a POD.  But how do you approach these companies? What are they looking for? How does it all work? What do you need to know?
