THE READING ROOM
Where new films find the people looking for them

For filmmakers
Be found, on your terms
1.List your film
Open your film on the Desk, go to Sharing and showcase, and switch on the Reading Room. Free on every plan.
2.They discover it
Vetted scouts, agents, programmers and producers browse by format, stage, genre, language and page count.
3.They ask to read
They pick what they want (screenplay, treatment, deck, budget) and say why. You see who they are.
4.You decide
Approve or decline each request. Require your NDA if you like. Access ends after 14 days.
5.Protected copies
Every page carries the reader's name, email and the time. You see each time they open it.

What readers see first
The poster, logline, genre, stage, language and page count, plus the filmmaker's name. That's the public tier. Everything else (the screenplay, treatment, deck and budget) opens only when you approve a request.

NDA
Built on trust
Nobody pays to be read
Listing is free on every plan. Ratings and placement can't be bought, and readers never charge filmmakers.
Your NDA, your rules
Require an NDA before anyone can ask. We keep a record of each signature and the exact text. Our partner law firm can draft one for you.
Every copy is traceable
Screenplays are stamped with the reader's name, email and the time on every page. Stamps discourage leaks; they can't stop a photo of a screen.
