Decision-Maker Newsletter Alert!

Wscripted is launching a monthly newsletter promoting Five Curated Scripts of the Month to decision-makers! This is very exciting for us as this newsletter has been highly anticipated and requested by our network of decision-makers looking to discover more projects.

The list of projects will be sent to decision-makers using Wscripted's platform, which includes independent and top tier production companies such as Babe Nation Films, Film Forge, Endeavor Content, Film4, Légendes Films, Maven Pictures, MUBI, FilmNation, See Saw Films, StudioCanal, Working Titles and a few Hollywood celebrity-led production companies.

To accelerate projects' discovery, Wscripted has released an audio feature, enabling decision-makers to listen to the recommended screenplays with our faster speed audio. Talents with projects featuring audio are welcome to share the link when contacting producers & agents.

To be considered for the producer newsletter, simply apply to Wscripted’s call for entries (Pitch a Decision-Maker, Annual Cannes Screenplay List, partner opportunities). While we tailor the selection to producers' interests during our pitch events, our newsletter selects & promotes a broader range of projects with the mention “Wscripted Recommends”.

The news was published today in our Key Industry Player article with Le Dispatch Media! 🎉

The five projects featured in our October newsletter are:
