An ISA Verified Pro is searching for features that push the boundaries of their given genres. Any genre is welcome as long as it is executed with a clear voice and via strong lead characters. The Pro's focus is on commercial, sellable material with a distinct hook.
Adrenaline-filled action features, neo-noir thrillers, eccentric, Coen Brothers-style comedies, and more are all welcome. They tend to avoid material that is too bleak or small in scale. Horror projects with a strong point of view are an exception.
Recommended comps include The Big Lebowski, John Wick, The Usual Suspects, Bridesmaids, 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.
