This ad was on Reddit today for something called The Story Search, that claims it can help documentary makers with a story to turn it into a film - just tell them what it is and send all the material.

It should not need saying, but:

Please - I am begging you - DO NOT SEND this company, or any like it, your story, your material, or your agreement to abide by its bogus rites-hoovering.
