A major production company is looking for story-driven thrillers that have an energetic tone. They are hoping to find narratives that are rebellious, push boundaries, and embrace counterculture. Projects that can maintain that identity while being suitable for a more commercial space are also greatly desired.
The Pro would like to attach an auteur director and give them the freedom to create a unique feature or series. They consider such a creator-driven approach to elevated, high-concept material a key part of their brand.
Recommended comps include Sinners, Mr. Robot, Happy Death Day, Gaslit, and Get Out.

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.
Ordering other forms of ISA Feedback can help your screenplay succeed in the highly competitive Writing Gigs environment. A writer with a track record of steadily seeking out notes and improving their portfolio is highly appealing to industry professionals.
A variety of feedback forms can be found via our Script Notes Services.
