INKTIP<br />

The Best Tool for Producers and Reps<br />

Ever been gnawing on your fifth<br />

Red Vine while debating which<br />

script to greenlight, when your<br />

financial backer calls and demands that<br />

the script now be about an 11-year-old girl<br />

and her prize-winning chicken, because<br />

he has the perfect actress in mind – and<br />

chicken? Or your co-producer tells you<br />

over two skinny double lattes no whip<br />

that she’s secured the perfect location in<br />

the desert – if you only had the perfect<br />

script? It happens to all producers in the<br />

industry. You could weed through all the<br />

scripts on the back bookcase, but there’s<br />

no guarantee they are what you need.<br />

That’s why you need InkTip.<br />

InkTip helps producers instantly find<br />

scripts and writers for their slate and<br />

allows agents and managers to not only<br />

find new clients but to also market their<br />

clients’ work to thousands of production<br />

companies. Through InkTip’s search<br />

engine and tailored leads service, producers<br />

have optioned and bought thousands<br />

of scripts, as well as hired writers;<br />

and representatives have discovered<br />

new talent. With a simple click, you can<br />

browse through all genres. You can find<br />

award-winning writers. You can even<br />

find a “young girl and her favorite animal”<br />

script. It’s that easy.<br />

Over 250 films have been made from<br />

scripts and writers found through InkTip.<br />

These films range in style and genre.<br />

If you need a campy, one-location horror,<br />

you can find it on InkTip. You can<br />

also find action/adventures, comedies,<br />

romance, and period pieces. A closer<br />

look at five recent films sourced through<br />

InkTip highlights the diversity and quality<br />

of InkTip’s scripts and writers.<br />

Released this year, Operator is an action/<br />

thriller that was found on InkTip and<br />

directed by the dynamic team at DV3<br />

Productions, Obin and Amariah Olson.<br />

The script’s premise caught Obin Olson’s<br />

eye. He liked that Dwain Worrell’s story<br />

had a strong backbone and clear premise.<br />

“Operator is a rare script that has a central<br />

question that drives [the mystery],<br />

Mischa Barton as 911 operator, Pamela Miller<br />

has a clear good guy, a clear bad guy<br />

and clear stakes. When you start with<br />

the proper ingredients like this, it’s not<br />

hard to craft up a script that compels the<br />

audience to watch,” Obin said. “Dwain is<br />

great to work with.”<br />

Currently, Dwain is working on a project<br />

at Warner Bros. and working with<br />

Amazon on a script. He’s thankful InkTip<br />

gave him access to directors that are passionate<br />

about their work and continues to<br />

use our services to market his scripts.<br />

On the opposite spectrum of storytelling<br />

is the family-friendly film A Horse for<br />

Summer. Producer/director Nancy Criss<br />

turned to InkTip to find the best writer<br />

for her slate of family-friendly projects.<br />

Screenwriter Kenneth Lemm piqued her<br />

interest, so she followed his career. “I know<br />

that his screenplays<br />

do well at<br />

several festivals,<br />

and he is constantly<br />

winning<br />

or being nominated<br />

for most his<br />

scripts. I was looking<br />

for a winner,”<br />

she stated. She<br />

hired Kenneth<br />

to pen the script<br />

about mistakes,<br />

forgiveness, and<br />

the strength of<br />

family.<br />

The cast of A Horse<br />

for Summer (Nicole<br />

Taylor, Terri Minton,<br />

Mandalynn Carlson,<br />

and Dean Cain)<br />

They have continued to work together<br />

on a number of projects. For their next<br />

endeavor, Nancy and Kenneth are<br />

developing a TV series. “He is so great<br />

to bounce ideas off of and such a team<br />

player. By far one of my favorite writers<br />

to work with,” Nancy said, proving that<br />

not only can a great writer be found on<br />

InkTip, but also a collaborative team for<br />

future projects.<br />

“I love InkTip and have referred several<br />

producers that are looking for projects.<br />

It is great that you have writers of all<br />

calibers, from up-and-coming to awardwinning.<br />

There are great screenplays on<br />

your site of all genres. It is the only place<br />

I go now,” said Nancy.<br />

InkTip writers aren’t the only award-winners.<br />

Nancy Criss and Obin and Amariah<br />

Olson have won awards for their films.<br />

Director Anne Renton was known for her<br />

award-winning short film Love is Love,<br />

starring Jane Lynch (Glee, Taladega<br />

Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby), and<br />

went on to direct The Perfect Family,<br />

which opened at the 2011 Tribeca Film<br />

Festival to critical acclaim. Anne discovered<br />

Claire V. Riley’s award-winning<br />

script on InkTip and read it while traveling<br />

on a plane. “The characters were<br />

interesting and the story was good,” Anne<br />

said. “It made me both laugh and cry. To<br />

have that level of extreme emotion come<br />

over me in one of the most public places<br />

in the world, I knew I had a strong, relatable<br />

script on my hands.”<br />

India Ennenga and Onata Aprile in Scout<br />

Kathleen Turner as Eileen in The Perfect Family<br />

The Perfect Family’s Cleary Family<br />

Featrure Article<br />

The Perfect Family boasts a star-studded<br />

cast: Kathleen Turner, Emily Deschanel,<br />

and Jason Ritter. Kathleen Turner was<br />

intrigued by the humor and complexity<br />

of the main character, Eileen Cleary, who<br />

struggles with the faults of her supposed<br />

perfect family, and was the first to sign on<br />

to the project. The film explores the preconceived<br />

ideals of family in our evolving<br />

culture, as well as current LGBT themes. It<br />

is a wonderful example of a dramatic and<br />

humorous film that started with an InkTip<br />

script listing and later found traction in the<br />

festival circuit and indie market.<br />

“I was thrilled to find InkTip,” Anne<br />

Renton stated. “I want to really thank<br />

InkTip for allowing me to be on the site<br />

and for the support in getting my script<br />

lead out to the writers. That was the seed<br />

to enable me to move forward with my<br />

first film project!”<br />

Another award-winning film found on<br />

InkTip is Scout, a coming-of-age indie<br />

film written and directed by Laurie Weltz<br />

and produced by Beverley A. Gordon<br />

with BrownBag Pictures. Scout won<br />

Official Selection of the 2015 Newport<br />

Beach Film Festival. When asked why<br />

writer/director Laurie Weltz utilized<br />

InkTip to market her script, she said, “I<br />

had put another project up on InkTip and<br />

had success with it, so I decided to do it<br />

again. I think it is a great vehicle for writers<br />

to get their work viewed by people<br />

who might not ordinarily see it.”<br />

Like Kathleen Turner’s interest in Eileen<br />

Cleary, it was the multi-dimensional<br />

character of Scout that attracted Beverley<br />

to the script, and the question of “what is<br />

family” that the script raises, which connected<br />

with Beverley’s ideal to produce<br />

moving, inspirational films.<br />

“While reading the screenplay I was<br />

inspired by the lead character Scout. She<br />

was a refreshingly smart, resourceful,<br />

desperate, and flawed female character<br />

whose development and journey I<br />

thought rose above being superficial and<br />

stereotypical. I thought her story was<br />

being told in a serious, yet still humorous<br />

way,” Beverley said.<br />

Operator, A Horse for Summer, The<br />

Perfect Family, and Scout are all contemporary<br />

films. Many times InkTip is asked<br />

if period pieces sell in Hollywood. Yes,<br />

they are harder to sell, to finance, and to<br />

distribute, but they are made – and made<br />

off of InkTip. Shadow on the Mesa is a<br />

western that was discovered on InkTip<br />

Feature Article<br />

by Matt Fitzsimons with Larry Levinson<br />

Productions. The script was based on<br />

Lee Martin’s published novel, which she<br />

adapted. Lee is a prolific western writer of<br />

books, short stories, and screenplays, and<br />

Lee’s western was the right blend of captivating<br />

characters and drama for Larry<br />

Levinson Productions. What attracted<br />

Matt to the script were the three-dimensional<br />

characters Lee created, each with<br />

their unique pasts and desires for the<br />

future. It also resonated well with audiences.<br />

Upon airing on Hallmark Movie<br />

Channel in 2013, it became the second<br />

highest-rated and most-watched original<br />

movie in network history.<br />

“I wish more westerns were made,” said<br />

Matt Fitzsimons. “There is a real appetite<br />

for the genre, but they are so difficult to<br />

get made that few people write them on<br />

spec anymore. So to all those aspiring<br />

writers out there – write your western!<br />

Even if it doesn’t get made, it can turn<br />

out to be your calling card.”<br />

Lee Martin’s advice echoed Matt’s.<br />

“Never stop trying,” she said. “Roll with<br />

the punches. And if you sell a screenplay<br />

to a good outfit like Larry Levinson,<br />

don’t fight the producers. It all works if<br />

Danny Glover as the former Texas Ranger, Red<br />

(in Scout)<br />

Wes Brown and Kevin Sorbo star in<br />

Shadow on the Mesa<br />

you just step back and let them do their<br />

job … And be on InkTip … InkTip has<br />

given me vast opportunities with its<br />

exposure. It was the catalyst for my first<br />

produced screenplay.”<br />

Lee’s advice is perfect for both screenwriters<br />

and industry professionals: Be on<br />

InkTip. Quality writers and award-winning<br />

scripts that fit your mandate are easy<br />

to find. You just need to use the right tool.<br />

Q & A with<br />

InkTip Founder<br />

Jerrol LeBaron<br />

InkTip was founded in 2000, before through. It’s been tough on both sides. It’s<br />

anyone turned to the Internet to find not as easy as you’d think for a producer or<br />

scripts or writers. With over 250 films rep to find the right script or writer that fits<br />

made from scripts and writers found their needs. So, I thought to myself, what if<br />

through the site, InkTip remains the I build a website, where writers could post<br />

number-one place to go online for your their scripts and where producers and reps<br />

next project. Find out what’s to come could log in and do searches for exactly<br />

from InkTip’s innovator, Jerrol LeBaron, what they were looking for?<br />

in this exclusive interview.<br />

Why do producers need InkTip?<br />

Producers and reps are bombarded with<br />

scripts from everybody and their brother.<br />

Oftentimes, they are reading parts of scripts<br />

or pitches that really have nothing to do with<br />

what they are looking for. With InkTip, you<br />

only read scripts that are in your wheelhouse,<br />

because you narrowed down your criteria to<br />

exactly what you want.<br />

How does InkTip work?<br />

For qualified producers, managers or<br />

reps, it couldn’t be simpler to find that<br />

ideal writer or script. They simply log<br />

in and select what they are looking for.<br />

First, they see the logline and, for the<br />

ones that interest them, they can click on<br />

the synopsis and script links and begin<br />

reading then and there!<br />

What was your goal when you first<br />

started InkTip?<br />

Having recently written a poor script (not<br />

having had any training), I was trying<br />

to sell it. No one was able to tell me I<br />

needed to learn the craft. The reason why?<br />

I couldn’t get the script into anyone’s<br />

hands! What I saw was a gate. Outside the<br />

gate opening were producers, agents and<br />

managers looking for scripts and writers.<br />

Trying to squeeze through the gate opening<br />

were writers wanting to gain representation<br />

or sell their scripts, or even get hired. But<br />

getting the producers and reps to figure out<br />

which writers and scripts to let through the<br />

gate was maddening. Every now and then a<br />

few scripts or writers were able to squeeze<br />

Now what is your goal?<br />

Well, every year we count a couple of hundred<br />

more scripts sold/optioned, writers<br />

hired or writers gaining representation,<br />

along with about 30 more movies made<br />

from writers and scripts found through<br />

InkTip. My goal is not just 30 but 100 movies<br />

made every year. I’d love to be able to<br />

say that two movies are made every week<br />

from writers and scripts found through us.<br />

What is next for InkTip?<br />

There are a few things we are working on,<br />

but I did want to comment on a few things<br />

we have already done. First, in case anyone<br />

doesn’t know, we are not a coverage<br />

service. We also don’t critique or write loglines<br />

and synopses for writers. The reason<br />

for that is that we want producers and reps<br />

to get a feel for the writer’s voice and not a<br />

feel for the “mentor’s,” so to speak.<br />

But that doesn’t mean we can’t educate<br />

writers and others on how to write a logline.<br />

So, we developed what we call the “logline<br />

lab.” Through years and years of analyzing<br />

literally thousands of loglines, we discovered<br />

the basic elements or structure of a<br />

good logline from which a person can then<br />

build upon. What we found was fascinating.<br />

At the same time, creating a sound logline<br />

is simpler than most people expect it to be.<br />

This lab is a free service provided to any<br />

writer who is a member of InkTip, and there<br />

is no fee to become a member.<br />

The next service we are unveiling is an<br />

additional system where writers can share<br />

their scripts. A comparison would be<br />

the way YouTube does it. As you know,<br />

when you see a video on YouTube that you<br />

like, you click the “share” button to get a<br />

link that you can copy/paste into an email<br />

that you send.<br />

Well, we are about to launch something<br />

just like that, where a writer has a script<br />

on our site (let’s say, the writer is having<br />

dialogue with a producer and the producer<br />

asks for the script) and is able to send a link<br />

to a producer that can take them directly to<br />

that script listing on our site to download<br />

the script. So, let’s say in one instance, a<br />

writer sends an email query to a producer.<br />

Normally, that producer will reply back to<br />

the writer and have to wait for the writer<br />

to send that script. Instead of forcing both<br />

parties to go back and forth to receive the<br />

script attachment, the producer can click<br />

the link they received in the first email and<br />

read and download the script without delay.<br />

This saves everyone time.<br />

Another area where writers often share<br />

their scripts is when sending scripts to their<br />

colleagues or writing partners. Writers<br />

want assurance when their scripts were<br />

not only received, but read. By checking<br />

out the history of your shared scripts, you<br />

For these and many more scripts go to our website www.InkTip.com


can see notifications when someone has<br />

received and read your scripts. So sharing<br />

scripts through InkTip saves time and provides<br />

assurance.<br />

When you capture someone’s attention<br />

with your pitch, the best opportunity for<br />

them to read or download your script is<br />

right then and there. The great thing about<br />

this new way of sharing scripts through<br />

InkTip is that you strike while the iron is<br />

hot. And, you don’t need to upload and<br />

send an attachment, which no one likes.<br />

This is another free service we are offering<br />

to our writers to help them along with their<br />

careers. Oh, and one of the cool things<br />

about this, besides being able to track how<br />

many people are reading your scripts, is that<br />

you keep your own email addresses for the<br />

contacts you know. All you are doing when<br />

you use the shared script service is generating<br />

a safe link that you can use without<br />

ever having to disclose contact information<br />

for your important contacts. These simple<br />

things put just a little bit of extra protection<br />

there for both producers and writers.<br />

Not too long ago, we set up a directory on<br />

our site where producers and writers alike<br />

can check out contests and festivals. One<br />

unique thing about this service is that if a<br />

contest is on our website, it means this contest<br />

actually does something for the writer.<br />

We directly ask each contest what they do<br />

for the finalists and winning writers. If the<br />

benefits aren’t enough, we don’t allow that<br />

contest to post on our website. So, we like<br />

contests that can help the writers in tangible<br />

ways, especially promoting the winners to<br />

their producer and rep contacts. If a contest<br />

is selecting the winning scripts and boasting<br />

about them to their producer and rep contacts,<br />

they aren’t going to just let any script<br />

be a winner or finalist. To me, this is also<br />

an indication that the people at the contest<br />

reading the scripts are probably a cut above<br />

as well. This contest and festival service is<br />

free to members and non-members alike.<br />

We are also launching an events portal.<br />

This is where writing groups can post their<br />

next meetings, film festivals can post their<br />

screenings, producer groups can post their<br />

workshops, the WGA, DGA, PGA, etc., can<br />

post any events they have going on, and so<br />

forth. There is always something going on in<br />

just about any part of the world that relates to<br />

filmmaking, and so these are events that one<br />

can attend to get to know other people in the<br />

industry, learn new things, stay connected,<br />

and get a little networking done. This is also<br />

a free service for members and non-members.<br />

Of course, we have just opened this<br />

portal, so maybe you won’t find much, but<br />

you can post your events now. And this<br />

will grow and grow and grow!<br />

On the horizon is another exciting development<br />

regarding industry pros bookmarking<br />

their favorite scripts on InkTip. When an<br />

industry pro does this, the site will check to<br />

see if the script listing is getting close to the<br />

end of its listing period on InkTip. If so, we<br />

will send that industry pro a quick reminder<br />

that they should read or download the script<br />

before it’s no longer available.<br />

Another thing we are also working on is<br />

alerting producers when a script has been<br />

posted on our site that matches the criteria<br />

they like.<br />

What has changed in the industry<br />

over the past 15 years?<br />

Fifteen years ago, the idea that producers<br />

and reps should be able to find good scripts<br />

and writers on the Internet was something<br />

no one thought was possible. And, in fact,<br />

probably no more than a hundred or so<br />

producers and reps were even open to it<br />

back then. Now, everyone uses the Internet<br />

to find scripts and writers. So, since our<br />

inception, thousands and thousands of producers<br />

and reps have registered for access<br />

to InkTip to find the writers and scripts they<br />

want without the hassles of having to reach<br />

out to dozens or more people to ask if they<br />

even have something they are looking for.<br />

The Internet is now the norm for people<br />

looking for writers and scripts. There are<br />

a lot of other changes relating to the film<br />

market, distribution and such, but that is<br />

not my area of expertise.<br />

InkTip cares about all produced<br />

films made through InkTip and<br />

continues to promote and help<br />

after a film has been made. Can<br />

you talk about how that works?<br />

Once a script or writer has been found, we<br />

want to do everything we can to:<br />

1. Help the writer take advantage of this<br />

momentum;<br />

2. Help the producer with any kind of<br />

promotion for this project that we can to<br />

assist in the success of the project for the<br />

benefit of both the writer and producer;<br />

3. Oftentimes, we’ll feature the film on<br />

our magazine cover. We’ll mention the<br />

progress of the project as it goes through<br />

its various phases, all the way through<br />

production and screenings. We’ll post it<br />

on our website, in our newsletters, etc.<br />

Register Today at www.InkTip.com<br />

What’s the catch?<br />

Well, I guess the only catch is that a producer<br />

or rep has to qualify for access.<br />

Writers pay InkTip a fee to have their<br />

scripts listed on our site, and they trust that<br />

we perform due diligence. So, for example,<br />

a person who has only PA credits and not<br />

working for an established company will<br />

not qualify.<br />

What’s the difference between<br />

InkTip and other script services?<br />

You know, I have never been a proponent<br />

of explaining the differences between our<br />

services and others’. It just seems like in<br />

order to do that, one has to put down other<br />

services in order to make one look good.<br />

I will tell you that the only things we are<br />

interested in are results. We get a few<br />

hundred scripts sold, optioned, writers<br />

hired, writers gaining representation<br />

and so on, every single year. And most<br />

importantly we average somewhere around<br />

30 feature-length movies made every year<br />

from writers and scripts that were found<br />

through InkTip.<br />

We do this year in and year out. We have<br />

writers who make their living as full-time<br />

writers, and it was in no small measure due<br />

to them using InkTip that producers and<br />

reps could find them.<br />

Though keeping our site and IMDb page<br />

updated can become time-consuming,<br />

most of the successes that we are directly<br />

responsible for are listed.<br />

For whichever service or company you are<br />

considering, disregard the hype and the<br />

hot air. Look for actual results – find the<br />

list of the movies made, the scripts sold,<br />

the writers hired, etc., as a result of others<br />

using that company’s services. If no such<br />

list exists, well then…<br />

What other benefits are there to<br />

using InkTip?<br />

As I have always said, it is fast and easy<br />

for producers to find exactly what they are<br />

looking for. There have been numerous<br />

occasions where we get a producer set<br />

up on InkTip, and literally 10 minutes<br />

to an hour later, that producer found the<br />

exact script he or she was looking for! It<br />

was my goal to make InkTip a place where<br />

everyone goes for scripts and writers, and I<br />

believe that is truer with each new day.<br />
