Our EPs reserve the right to accept or decline any project for any reason. However, here are a few of key things we consider:

Team Score — There’s no minimum Team Score necessary to qualify, but your team’s track record definitely matters. Our investor, sales, and distributor community particularly looks for projects with name actors (scoring 70+), established producers (scoring 30+), and successful directors (scoring 30+).

Script or Screening Score — Your script or screener must score at least 75 to be considered as it significantly increases the likelihood of your project being “Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes.

Financial Score — Your project should score at least 75, which gives investors a higher probability of seeing a positive return.

Budget — We need to know your budget has been prepared by a professional, and that it’s appropriate for the scope of your movie. Budgets that are too high or low given the team or genre are red flags for sophisticated investors.

Financing Momentum — While not required, nothing builds confidence more than showing traction with your existing investor network.

Good Deal Terms — Favorable deal terms can help get investors on board, especially if some financing is already in place.

Marketability — Projects with clear target audiences and strong “hooks” (e.g. the cast, or the concept, or the filmmakers, or all three) are the holy grail for investors and distributors alike.

Marketing Material — An enticing poster, pitch deck and compelling video on your film profile are valuable tools no matter what stage your project is in.

Filmmaker Engagement — The best person to pitch your project is always you, so we look for filmmakers who see working with Slated as a long term partnership.

If your project is a early stage, you may be a fit for our EP Consulting service. If you'd like to be considered for VIP, simply get analysis and, if your project earns a Script Score of 75 or higher, our team will reach out to you to discuss further. You can also bring your 75+ scoring film to our attention by contacting us.

Yes. Filmmakers are encouraged to continue working with their producing team, agents, and traditional support network. Working with Slated does not preclude support from or collaboration with other entertainment companies.

All Script Analysis is draft-based, and Script Scores can increase when new drafts are submitted. Filmmakers always have the choice which analyses/Script Scores to share and which to hide. So, if a Script Score on your new draft is higher than your earlier draft, you can hide your older Script Score and only share the comments/scores associated with your preferred Script Analysis.
