An ISA Verified Pro is searching for projects that are direct literary adaptations or inspired by works in that medium. Any genre is welcome, as their focus is on the tone and quality of the material. The Pro has a focused slate that boasts consistent critical praise, commercial success, and cultural resonance.
Narratives with a Shakespearean setup are particularly welcome. They gravitate towards grounded material best described as prestige meets mainstream.
Recommended comps include Barry, Crazy Rich Asians, Slow Horses, The Hunger Games, and Glow.

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.
