New from Largo!

Simulated Focus Groups

A new type of analysis that uses AI to simulate in depth focus group research, designed to give you deep insights into your film and audience.

From the Heart Productions is excited to announce our partnership with Largo.ai, the film industry’s leading artificial intelligence based program designed to give filmmakers crucial data and recommendations about their films.

The information that Largo provides is an invaluable tool for pitching your film to investors and distributors, hiring crew, and making casting decisions.

A recent case study found that having a Largo report can improve salability of a project by up to 300%. We believe that major streaming platforms are increasingly prioritizing projects that have strong analysis based financial forecasts and other key metrics the system provides.

The information in the report lets a potential distributor or investor know exactly what the project might be worth to them and how to most successfully package it. Largo can tell you how an audience will react to your film and characters emotionally, which is a strong indicator of audience engagement that all distributors are after. It can show you if the emotion dips in a certain scene or if your characters are likable and relatable or not. It will show how your film compares to other similar films in many different metrics so that distributors can clearly see the market potential.

From content analysis and financial forecasts to character & casting analysis and packaging tools, Largo.ai is designed to empower traditional content creation workflows and help producers, distributors, and studios make smarter, more informed decisions.

Largo.ai is optimal for Feature Films, and can provide crucial information for Documentaries and Series as well.

Hear what From the Heart filmmakers have to say!

I must thank Carole Dean of From the Heart Productions for giving her Fiscal Sponsorships, this amazing opportunity. At first, I panicked to have my script analyzed by Largo A.I. It took years to create and to have it put under a microscope was unnerving. But because I trusted Carole’s judgment, I went for it. The third time submitting the script was the winner! It was submitted as a pilot script for a series, and Wow! “I would say these results are fantastic!”

This analysis gives scriptwriters and filmmakers an incredibly solid foundation, in which to seek investors and to build our cast and crew. I highly recommend it.

LARGO.AI is a must-use tool for independent filmmakers. The insights, details, and quality of the reports are helpful not only in making decisions about financing and distribution but also, thanks to the scene-by-scene script analysis, in the creative process of strengthening and improving the script. I’ll use it again for all my projects.

~ Simone Bartesaghi

The Largo AI script review system suggested by Carole Dean of From the Heart Productions has been of great help tweaking our script because Largo provides precise scene by scene stats on the emotional intensity and mix. And from a fundraising POV, Largo is an excellent third party source that shows potential backers the projected box office and streaming revenue. It’s an awesome new tool for this 25 year film vet.

Genre Recipe

The Storyline based Dynamic Genre Recipe illustrates the shifting dynamics of genres throughout a story. The system intelligently breaks down the narrative into essential story sections and assesses the presence of 10 distinct genres within each section.

This information can be useful to understand the rhythm, pacing, and dominant genres present in the film to have a comprehensive understanding of the storytelling experience.

The Genre Analysis measures the fluctuation of genres throughout a storyline. It provides valuable insights to the user regarding the level of genre changes within a particular piece of content.

When the score is lower, it indicates a low fluctuation of genres, suggesting a higher level of consistency throughout the story. While this may result in a more predictable narrative, it could potentially lead to lower audience engagement. On the other hand, when the score is higher, it signifies dynamic changes across genres, adding variety and potentially increasing audience engagement.

It’s important to note that there is no definitive formula to determine whether a score is good or bad. Instead, a comparison with similar content for the same score range can help indicate the positioning of the content in terms of genre fluctuation.

Emotions Analysis

The Emotion Analysis graph illustrates the shifting dynamics of emotions throughout a story. The system intelligently breaks down the narrative into essential story sections and assesses the presence of 8 distinct emotions within each section. This graph offers valuable insights into the rhythm, pacing, and dominant emotions present in the content, providing users with a comprehensive understanding for expected emotional experience for the audience.

Positive Emotion Score indicates the distribution of positive and negative emotions within the content. A positive score suggests a prevalence of positive emotions such as Joy, Surprise, and Trust, while a negative score suggests a dominance of negative emotions such as Anger, Disgust, Fear, and Sadness. A score close to 0 signifies a balanced emotional landscape. It’s important to note that positive or negative scores do not inherently imply whether the content is good or bad, but rather provide insight into its stylistic positioning compared to other films.

Emotional Intensity Score reflects the intensity of emotional storytelling within the narrative. A higher score signifies a heightened intensity of positive and/or negative emotions, often correlating with increased user engagement. Conversely, a lower score may indicate a lack of emotional depth or a predominance of neutral storytelling. While there is no definitive formula for determining the ideal score, this metric aids in understanding the content’s positioning relative to other films.

Demographics

The analyses predict the expected audience in terms of gender and age groups for the provided content.

This analysis helps position the content in relation to other similar offerings, allowing users to gain a comprehensive understanding of its unique appeal and market positioning.

Age Suitability

Age suitability analysis evaluates the appropriateness of content for three distinct age groups, dissecting each section of the content independently. This thorough evaluation aids in determining the likely age restriction a film may receive upon its theatrical release. By understanding the nature of the content in detail, we can better ensure the film’s compliance with appropriate viewing age regulations.

Character Analysis

The system analyzes your casting suggestions and proposes its own suggestions for the best casting choices for each main character. It shows how good of a match they are, how popular they are, and the reasons they were suggested. This can be invaluable information to a casting director and to the potential actors you’d like to hire.

Similar Film Analysis

The report report gives analyzes how your project compares to films the system identifies as similar. It also allows you to get comparisons for films you suggest.

Financial Forecast

Largo gives you detailed breakdowns of expected box office revenues for domestic and global markets. You’ll also get predictions for number of streaming views and the potential value of your project for major streaming services. Largo can also generate detailed financial projection reports based on Low, Average, and High forecasts.
