An ISA Verified Pro is eager to read feature-length projects in commercial genres that are positioned to succeed at the $20-$60M budget level.
The screenplay should be market-ready and competitive in a studio setting. Such projects possess a clear target audience, as well as characters and storylines that appeal to both domestic and international audiences.
There should be a unique voice that aligns with current studio and streamer trends. Finally, a polished and professionally formatted presentation is necessary.
Suggested comps include Knives Out, The Invisible Man, and Chef.

Want to have more success with Gigs? Here are some tips from our ISA Executives:
Successful loglines can convey a great deal of information in only one or two sentences. This includes:
A distinct main character that promises a strong emotional arc.
A clear concept and insight into how it will develop in the second act.
An understanding of how your unique character and clever concept are synergizing with one another.
An implicit tone for the project overall.
If you are struggling to encapsulate these elements into a concise logline, then we recommend submitting your project for an ISA Logline Review.
