The Concept
The following is a general concept for an international TV series based in and designed for Dubai. The series will be produced with the same quality as the successful internationally known series such as CSIMiami, Numbers, 24, or Alias. The series is focused on several goals within its entertainment values, those being as follows:
a) To organically bring awareness within its storyline, of the deep rooted, progressive, intelligent Dubai culture and its history.
b) Incorporated in the storyline without lecturing to bring awareness of Dubai as a City, its surrounding areas geographically, architectural design, level of international business and generally speaking the standard of life with the highest texture and visual quality.
c) To each story demonstrate the modern everyday life in Dubai and how even intense matters common in all large cities are dealt with in the most civilized manner.
d) To present an entertaining, exciting action pact story without the misuse of the social values of the culture. In another words there are no glorifications of crime or any emphasis on sexual or violent visuals. On the contrary the storyline is informative in safety, technology and social issues. Furthermore to create local heroes that can in some ways be cultural and inspirational examples for the youth.

The Storyline
RCP Dubai is a rescue and crime prevention unit that works separately but in collaboration with the Dubai Police Force, Interpol, Coast Guard, Fire Department, Bomb Unit and Medics. This well equipped division owns a rescue helicopter, a couple of desert equipped SUVs, a rescue high speed boat with dive equipment, high end rescue jet-skies, a medic and rescue truck as well as a well equipped computerized information center and laboratory.
Although such a unit maybe conceptual and not real in Dubai, it is a possibility. There are such units in many countries that work as a support group for different Law Enforcement Groups with an all-encompassing specialists team. This allows units such as this to deal with specific complicated cases in a broader manner.
The general stories focus on different characters and people put urgent situations of all kinds. As viewers enjoy the story and action they subconsciously also learn about what to do or not do in circumstances.

The Storyline
The unit deals with rescue situationinvloving traffic and construction mishaps, tourists in trouble, preventing disasters or dealing with those that have happened, to dealing with fraud and complex thefts. Inevitably there are twists and turns in the events most carrying some mystery or misunderstanding with them. The unit deals with these situations with interesting scientific methods that in many cases can even be informative as well as fun and entertaining.
All the latest model cars and toys, beautiful buildings, beaches and desert will help bring attention to the Dubai cosmopolitan and cultural way of life.
The series is intended for an international audience as well as thedomestic Emirates. The investment for such a series can have profits just in its merchandizing potential, let alone the TV sales and the service it will do for Dubai tourism and business.

key Characters
RCP Dubai consists of ten characters in the team, primarily local Emirates, but as Dubai exemplifies, the unit consists of different nationalities. One of the key characters is a Canadian national specialist Ron Mc Cloud who ends up in Dubai involuntarily.
The main leader of the group, age range in thelate forties, who is wise laid back and deals with situations based on his social and local experience. Another main character is the younger Arab hero in his thirties, trained and educated in the best rescue and crime solving training facilities in the world.
There are seven other specialists, men and women who are described below. Each character brings a different texture to the culture of this team. Vulnerability and family issues are also an important part of the character storylines.
Because the unit is international it also has to deal with all the ignorant cliché’s that have become the normal misunderstanding between the Moslem/Arab culture and the Western world. There are many social, philosophical and informative issues that the Westerners can actually learn from this.

The “Show” Bible
The bible includes a complete production budget, with the cost of the pilot separate and twelve episodes amortized. The bible also includes a complete production schedule, location suggestions, some key crewmembers, and character and wardrobe design concept. The bible will include all pertinent information to be able to conclude a budget estimate, schedule and cast suggestions.
To complete the bible, there are some basic costs involved including but not limited to the writer’s fee, Producer, Line Producer, scheduling, research, casting design and some storyboarding, sponsorship research. This cost is defined as Seed Funding.
Once the bible phase has been completed and the scripts and budget approved the production will begin for the Pilot segment. The Pilot segment is the most expensive episode and the longest in length. Since the pilot costs are not amortized over twelve episodes the cost is naturally higher. Furthermore as it is a single episode it is not abnormal to present it as a movie of the week depending if it is decided to make it longer.

Standards
The series is intended for an international audience as well as the local. The investment for such a series can have profits just in its merchandizing potential, let alone the TV sales and the service it will do for Dubai tourism and business. To achieve this it is necessary to have the best and most cost effective production team on board. The writing team, which is the first group that needs to start, is one of the most important of the production team. The writing team needs to consist of writers who are either local or have studied the culture thoroughly, know film and the series industry, know how to write dialogue and to enhance characters. Also the writing team needs to consist of team members who have worked on series such as 24 or CSI to bring the action and entertainment factor in to the mix.
Cinematography and the design team, as well as special effects, stunts and action unit have to be on an international level. This is a complicated production with an immense responsibility. The production unit has to understand serial production to be able to pull this off cost efficiently and timely.
Last and not least the producer and director team need to be a group that has the connections and experience to bring all of this together, and then sell it, yet understand the local Dubai culture and its sensitivities completely.
The Rebel Eye team is the creator of this idea and the team that bring this concept to reality. With a seriously interested financial partner Rebel Eye will present a business plan, script summary, budget and basic schedule, production timeline, an internationally known and qualified production team.
