We want to help more writers get signed, staffed, and produced. Coverfly has built strong relationships with industry professionals and has found unique opportunities to partner with talent discovery programs and use those connections to help bolster success efforts and achieve greater results for writers. Through this writers have been signed, staffed, or had projects optioned/financed.
As an InkTip Pro Member, thousands of filmmakers can find and read your scripts, and you'll be able to pitch directly to production companies every week. With over 3,000 options and 400 movies made, InkTip is the place for independent film.
