INKTIP<br />
The Best Tool for Producers and Reps<br />
Ever been gnawing on your fifth<br />
Red Vine while debating which<br />
script to greenlight, when your<br />
financial backer calls and demands that<br />
the script now be about an 11-year-old girl<br />
and her prize-winning chicken, because<br />
he has the perfect actress in mind – and<br />
chicken? Or your co-producer tells you<br />
over two skinny double lattes no whip<br />
that she’s secured the perfect location in<br />
the desert – if you only had the perfect<br />
script? It happens to all producers in the<br />
industry. You could weed through all the<br />
scripts on the back bookcase, but there’s<br />
no guarantee they are what you need.<br />
That’s why you need InkTip.<br />
InkTip helps producers instantly find<br />
scripts and writers for their slate and<br />
allows agents and managers to not only<br />
find new clients but to also market their<br />
clients’ work to thousands of production<br />
companies. Through InkTip’s search<br />
engine and tailored leads service, producers<br />
have optioned and bought thousands<br />
of scripts, as well as hired writers;<br />
and representatives have discovered<br />
new talent. With a simple click, you can<br />
browse through all genres. You can find<br />
award-winning writers. You can even<br />
find a “young girl and her favorite animal”<br />
script. It’s that easy.<br />
Over 250 films have been made from<br />
scripts and writers found through InkTip.<br />
These films range in style and genre.<br />
If you need a campy, one-location horror,<br />
you can find it on InkTip. You can<br />
also find action/adventures, comedies,<br />
romance, and period pieces. A closer<br />
look at five recent films sourced through<br />
InkTip highlights the diversity and quality<br />
of InkTip’s scripts and writers.<br />
Released this year, Operator is an action/<br />
thriller that was found on InkTip and<br />
directed by the dynamic team at DV3<br />
Productions, Obin and Amariah Olson.<br />
The script’s premise caught Obin Olson’s<br />
eye. He liked that Dwain Worrell’s story<br />
had a strong backbone and clear premise.<br />
“Operator is a rare script that has a central<br />
question that drives [the mystery],<br />
Mischa Barton as 911 operator, Pamela Miller<br />
has a clear good guy, a clear bad guy<br />
and clear stakes. When you start with<br />
the proper ingredients like this, it’s not<br />
hard to craft up a script that compels the<br />
audience to watch,” Obin said. “Dwain is<br />
great to work with.”<br />
Currently, Dwain is working on a project<br />
at Warner Bros. and working with<br />
Amazon on a script. He’s thankful InkTip<br />
gave him access to directors that are passionate<br />
about their work and continues to<br />
use our services to market his scripts.<br />
On the opposite spectrum of storytelling<br />
is the family-friendly film A Horse for<br />
Summer. Producer/director Nancy Criss<br />
turned to InkTip to find the best writer<br />
for her slate of family-friendly projects.<br />
Screenwriter Kenneth Lemm piqued her<br />
interest, so she followed his career. “I know<br />
that his screenplays<br />
do well at<br />
several festivals,<br />
and he is constantly<br />
winning<br />
or being nominated<br />
for most his<br />
scripts. I was looking<br />
for a winner,”<br />
she stated. She<br />
hired Kenneth<br />
to pen the script<br />
about mistakes,<br />
forgiveness, and<br />
the strength of<br />
family.<br />
The cast of A Horse<br />
for Summer (Nicole<br />
Taylor, Terri Minton,<br />
Mandalynn Carlson,<br />
and Dean Cain)<br />
They have continued to work together<br />
on a number of projects. For their next<br />
endeavor, Nancy and Kenneth are<br />
developing a TV series. “He is so great<br />
to bounce ideas off of and such a team<br />
player. By far one of my favorite writers<br />
to work with,” Nancy said, proving that<br />
not only can a great writer be found on<br />
InkTip, but also a collaborative team for<br />
future projects.<br />
“I love InkTip and have referred several<br />
producers that are looking for projects.<br />
It is great that you have writers of all<br />
calibers, from up-and-coming to awardwinning.<br />
There are great screenplays on<br />
your site of all genres. It is the only place<br />
I go now,” said Nancy.<br />
InkTip writers aren’t the only award-winners.<br />
Nancy Criss and Obin and Amariah<br />
Olson have won awards for their films.<br />
Director Anne Renton was known for her<br />
award-winning short film Love is Love,<br />
starring Jane Lynch (Glee, Taladega<br />
Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby), and<br />
went on to direct The Perfect Family,<br />
which opened at the 2011 Tribeca Film<br />
Festival to critical acclaim. Anne discovered<br />
Claire V. Riley’s award-winning<br />
script on InkTip and read it while traveling<br />
on a plane. “The characters were<br />
interesting and the story was good,” Anne<br />
said. “It made me both laugh and cry. To<br />
have that level of extreme emotion come<br />
over me in one of the most public places<br />
in the world, I knew I had a strong, relatable<br />
script on my hands.”<br />

India Ennenga and Onata Aprile in Scout<br />
Kathleen Turner as Eileen in The Perfect Family<br />
The Perfect Family’s Cleary Family<br />
Featrure Article<br />
The Perfect Family boasts a star-studded<br />
cast: Kathleen Turner, Emily Deschanel,<br />
and Jason Ritter. Kathleen Turner was<br />
intrigued by the humor and complexity<br />
of the main character, Eileen Cleary, who<br />
struggles with the faults of her supposed<br />
perfect family, and was the first to sign on<br />
to the project. The film explores the preconceived<br />
ideals of family in our evolving<br />
culture, as well as current LGBT themes. It<br />
is a wonderful example of a dramatic and<br />
humorous film that started with an InkTip<br />
script listing and later found traction in the<br />
festival circuit and indie market.<br />
“I was thrilled to find InkTip,” Anne<br />
Renton stated. “I want to really thank<br />
InkTip for allowing me to be on the site<br />
and for the support in getting my script<br />
lead out to the writers. That was the seed<br />
to enable me to move forward with my<br />
first film project!”<br />
Another award-winning film found on<br />
InkTip is Scout, a coming-of-age indie<br />
film written and directed by Laurie Weltz<br />
and produced by Beverley A. Gordon<br />
with BrownBag Pictures. Scout won<br />
Official Selection of the 2015 Newport<br />
Beach Film Festival. When asked why<br />
writer/director Laurie Weltz utilized<br />
InkTip to market her script, she said, “I<br />
had put another project up on InkTip and<br />
had success with it, so I decided to do it<br />
again. I think it is a great vehicle for writers<br />
to get their work viewed by people<br />
who might not ordinarily see it.”<br />
Like Kathleen Turner’s interest in Eileen<br />
Cleary, it was the multi-dimensional<br />
character of Scout that attracted Beverley<br />
to the script, and the question of “what is<br />
family” that the script raises, which connected<br />
with Beverley’s ideal to produce<br />
moving, inspirational films.<br />
“While reading the screenplay I was<br />
inspired by the lead character Scout. She<br />
was a refreshingly smart, resourceful,<br />
desperate, and flawed female character<br />
whose development and journey I<br />
thought rose above being superficial and<br />
stereotypical. I thought her story was<br />
being told in a serious, yet still humorous<br />
way,” Beverley said.<br />
Operator, A Horse for Summer, The<br />
Perfect Family, and Scout are all contemporary<br />
films. Many times InkTip is asked<br />
if period pieces sell in Hollywood. Yes,<br />
they are harder to sell, to finance, and to<br />
distribute, but they are made – and made<br />
off of InkTip. Shadow on the Mesa is a<br />
western that was discovered on InkTip<br />

Feature Article<br />
by Matt Fitzsimons with Larry Levinson<br />
Productions. The script was based on<br />
Lee Martin’s published novel, which she<br />
adapted. Lee is a prolific western writer of<br />
books, short stories, and screenplays, and<br />
Lee’s western was the right blend of captivating<br />
characters and drama for Larry<br />
Levinson Productions. What attracted<br />
Matt to the script were the three-dimensional<br />
characters Lee created, each with<br />
their unique pasts and desires for the<br />
future. It also resonated well with audiences.<br />
Upon airing on Hallmark Movie<br />
Channel in 2013, it became the second<br />
highest-rated and most-watched original<br />
movie in network history.<br />
“I wish more westerns were made,” said<br />
Matt Fitzsimons. “There is a real appetite<br />
for the genre, but they are so difficult to<br />
get made that few people write them on<br />
spec anymore. So to all those aspiring<br />
writers out there – write your western!<br />
Even if it doesn’t get made, it can turn<br />
out to be your calling card.”<br />
Lee Martin’s advice echoed Matt’s.<br />
“Never stop trying,” she said. “Roll with<br />
the punches. And if you sell a screenplay<br />
to a good outfit like Larry Levinson,<br />
don’t fight the producers. It all works if<br />
Danny Glover as the former Texas Ranger, Red<br />
(in Scout)<br />
Wes Brown and Kevin Sorbo star in<br />
Shadow on the Mesa<br />
you just step back and let them do their<br />
job … And be on InkTip … InkTip has<br />
given me vast opportunities with its<br />
exposure. It was the catalyst for my first<br />
produced screenplay.”<br />
Lee’s advice is perfect for both screenwriters<br />
and industry professionals: Be on<br />
InkTip. Quality writers and award-winning<br />
scripts that fit your mandate are easy<br />
to find. You just need to use the right tool.<br />

Q & A with<br />
InkTip Founder<br />
Jerrol LeBaron<br />
InkTip was founded in 2000, before through. It’s been tough on both sides. It’s<br />
anyone turned to the Internet to find not as easy as you’d think for a producer or<br />
scripts or writers. With over 250 films rep to find the right script or writer that fits<br />
made from scripts and writers found their needs. So, I thought to myself, what if<br />
through the site, InkTip remains the I build a website, where writers could post<br />
number-one place to go online for your their scripts and where producers and reps<br />
next project. Find out what’s to come could log in and do searches for exactly<br />
from InkTip’s innovator, Jerrol LeBaron, what they were looking for?<br />
in this exclusive interview.<br />
Why do producers need InkTip?<br />
Producers and reps are bombarded with<br />
scripts from everybody and their brother.<br />
Oftentimes, they are reading parts of scripts<br />
or pitches that really have nothing to do with<br />
what they are looking for. With InkTip, you<br />
only read scripts that are in your wheelhouse,<br />
because you narrowed down your criteria to<br />
exactly what you want.<br />
How does InkTip work?<br />
For qualified producers, managers or<br />
reps, it couldn’t be simpler to find that<br />
ideal writer or script. They simply log<br />
in and select what they are looking for.<br />
First, they see the logline and, for the<br />
ones that interest them, they can click on<br />
the synopsis and script links and begin<br />
reading then and there!<br />
What was your goal when you first<br />
started InkTip?<br />
Having recently written a poor script (not<br />
having had any training), I was trying<br />
to sell it. No one was able to tell me I<br />
needed to learn the craft. The reason why?<br />
I couldn’t get the script into anyone’s<br />
hands! What I saw was a gate. Outside the<br />
gate opening were producers, agents and<br />
managers looking for scripts and writers.<br />
Trying to squeeze through the gate opening<br />
were writers wanting to gain representation<br />
or sell their scripts, or even get hired. But<br />
getting the producers and reps to figure out<br />
which writers and scripts to let through the<br />
gate was maddening. Every now and then a<br />
few scripts or writers were able to squeeze<br />
Now what is your goal?<br />
Well, every year we count a couple of hundred<br />
more scripts sold/optioned, writers<br />
hired or writers gaining representation,<br />
along with about 30 more movies made<br />
from writers and scripts found through<br />
InkTip. My goal is not just 30 but 100 movies<br />
made every year. I’d love to be able to<br />
say that two movies are made every week<br />
from writers and scripts found through us.<br />
What is next for InkTip?<br />
There are a few things we are working on,<br />
but I did want to comment on a few things<br />
we have already done. First, in case anyone<br />
doesn’t know, we are not a coverage<br />
service. We also don’t critique or write loglines<br />
and synopses for writers. The reason<br />
for that is that we want producers and reps<br />
to get a feel for the writer’s voice and not a<br />
feel for the “mentor’s,” so to speak.<br />
But that doesn’t mean we can’t educate<br />
writers and others on how to write a logline.<br />
So, we developed what we call the “logline<br />
lab.” Through years and years of analyzing<br />
literally thousands of loglines, we discovered<br />
the basic elements or structure of a<br />
good logline from which a person can then<br />
build upon. What we found was fascinating.<br />
At the same time, creating a sound logline<br />
is simpler than most people expect it to be.<br />
This lab is a free service provided to any<br />
writer who is a member of InkTip, and there<br />
is no fee to become a member.<br />
The next service we are unveiling is an<br />
additional system where writers can share<br />
their scripts. A comparison would be<br />
the way YouTube does it. As you know,<br />
when you see a video on YouTube that you<br />
like, you click the “share” button to get a<br />
link that you can copy/paste into an email<br />
that you send.<br />
Well, we are about to launch something<br />
just like that, where a writer has a script<br />
on our site (let’s say, the writer is having<br />
dialogue with a producer and the producer<br />
asks for the script) and is able to send a link<br />
to a producer that can take them directly to<br />
that script listing on our site to download<br />
the script. So, let’s say in one instance, a<br />
writer sends an email query to a producer.<br />
Normally, that producer will reply back to<br />
the writer and have to wait for the writer<br />
to send that script. Instead of forcing both<br />
parties to go back and forth to receive the<br />
script attachment, the producer can click<br />
the link they received in the first email and<br />
read and download the script without delay.<br />
This saves everyone time.<br />
Another area where writers often share<br />
their scripts is when sending scripts to their<br />
colleagues or writing partners. Writers<br />
want assurance when their scripts were<br />
not only received, but read. By checking<br />
out the history of your shared scripts, you<br />
For these and many more scripts go to our website www.InkTip.com
can see notifications when someone has<br />
received and read your scripts. So sharing<br />
scripts through InkTip saves time and provides<br />
assurance.<br />
When you capture someone’s attention<br />
with your pitch, the best opportunity for<br />
them to read or download your script is<br />
right then and there. The great thing about<br />
this new way of sharing scripts through<br />
InkTip is that you strike while the iron is<br />
hot. And, you don’t need to upload and<br />
send an attachment, which no one likes.<br />
This is another free service we are offering<br />
to our writers to help them along with their<br />
careers. Oh, and one of the cool things<br />
about this, besides being able to track how<br />
many people are reading your scripts, is that<br />
you keep your own email addresses for the<br />
contacts you know. All you are doing when<br />
you use the shared script service is generating<br />
a safe link that you can use without<br />
ever having to disclose contact information<br />
for your important contacts. These simple<br />
things put just a little bit of extra protection<br />
there for both producers and writers.<br />
Not too long ago, we set up a directory on<br />
our site where producers and writers alike<br />
can check out contests and festivals. One<br />
unique thing about this service is that if a<br />
contest is on our website, it means this contest<br />
actually does something for the writer.<br />
We directly ask each contest what they do<br />
for the finalists and winning writers. If the<br />
benefits aren’t enough, we don’t allow that<br />
contest to post on our website. So, we like<br />
contests that can help the writers in tangible<br />
ways, especially promoting the winners to<br />
their producer and rep contacts. If a contest<br />
is selecting the winning scripts and boasting<br />
about them to their producer and rep contacts,<br />
they aren’t going to just let any script<br />
be a winner or finalist. To me, this is also<br />
an indication that the people at the contest<br />
reading the scripts are probably a cut above<br />
as well. This contest and festival service is<br />
free to members and non-members alike.<br />
We are also launching an events portal.<br />
This is where writing groups can post their<br />
next meetings, film festivals can post their<br />
screenings, producer groups can post their<br />
workshops, the WGA, DGA, PGA, etc., can<br />
post any events they have going on, and so<br />
forth. There is always something going on in<br />
just about any part of the world that relates to<br />
filmmaking, and so these are events that one<br />
can attend to get to know other people in the<br />
industry, learn new things, stay connected,<br />
and get a little networking done. This is also<br />
a free service for members and non-members.<br />
Of course, we have just opened this<br />
portal, so maybe you won’t find much, but<br />
you can post your events now. And this<br />
will grow and grow and grow!<br />
On the horizon is another exciting development<br />
regarding industry pros bookmarking<br />
their favorite scripts on InkTip. When an<br />
industry pro does this, the site will check to<br />
see if the script listing is getting close to the<br />
end of its listing period on InkTip. If so, we<br />
will send that industry pro a quick reminder<br />
that they should read or download the script<br />
before it’s no longer available.<br />
Another thing we are also working on is<br />
alerting producers when a script has been<br />
posted on our site that matches the criteria<br />
they like.<br />
What has changed in the industry<br />
over the past 15 years?<br />
Fifteen years ago, the idea that producers<br />
and reps should be able to find good scripts<br />
and writers on the Internet was something<br />
no one thought was possible. And, in fact,<br />
probably no more than a hundred or so<br />
producers and reps were even open to it<br />
back then. Now, everyone uses the Internet<br />
to find scripts and writers. So, since our<br />
inception, thousands and thousands of producers<br />
and reps have registered for access<br />
to InkTip to find the writers and scripts they<br />
want without the hassles of having to reach<br />
out to dozens or more people to ask if they<br />
even have something they are looking for.<br />
The Internet is now the norm for people<br />
looking for writers and scripts. There are<br />
a lot of other changes relating to the film<br />
market, distribution and such, but that is<br />
not my area of expertise.<br />
InkTip cares about all produced<br />
films made through InkTip and<br />
continues to promote and help<br />
after a film has been made. Can<br />
you talk about how that works?<br />
Once a script or writer has been found, we<br />
want to do everything we can to:<br />
1. Help the writer take advantage of this<br />
momentum;<br />
2. Help the producer with any kind of<br />
promotion for this project that we can to<br />
assist in the success of the project for the<br />
benefit of both the writer and producer;<br />
3. Oftentimes, we’ll feature the film on<br />
our magazine cover. We’ll mention the<br />
progress of the project as it goes through<br />
its various phases, all the way through<br />
production and screenings. We’ll post it<br />
on our website, in our newsletters, etc.<br />
Register Today at www.InkTip.com<br />
What’s the catch?<br />
Well, I guess the only catch is that a producer<br />
or rep has to qualify for access.<br />
Writers pay InkTip a fee to have their<br />
scripts listed on our site, and they trust that<br />
we perform due diligence. So, for example,<br />
a person who has only PA credits and not<br />
working for an established company will<br />
not qualify.<br />
What’s the difference between<br />
InkTip and other script services?<br />
You know, I have never been a proponent<br />
of explaining the differences between our<br />
services and others’. It just seems like in<br />
order to do that, one has to put down other<br />
services in order to make one look good.<br />
I will tell you that the only things we are<br />
interested in are results. We get a few<br />
hundred scripts sold, optioned, writers<br />
hired, writers gaining representation<br />
and so on, every single year. And most<br />
importantly we average somewhere around<br />
30 feature-length movies made every year<br />
from writers and scripts that were found<br />
through InkTip.<br />
We do this year in and year out. We have<br />
writers who make their living as full-time<br />
writers, and it was in no small measure due<br />
to them using InkTip that producers and<br />
reps could find them.<br />
Though keeping our site and IMDb page<br />
updated can become time-consuming,<br />
most of the successes that we are directly<br />
responsible for are listed.<br />
For whichever service or company you are<br />
considering, disregard the hype and the<br />
hot air. Look for actual results – find the<br />
list of the movies made, the scripts sold,<br />
the writers hired, etc., as a result of others<br />
using that company’s services. If no such<br />
list exists, well then…<br />
What other benefits are there to<br />
using InkTip?<br />
As I have always said, it is fast and easy<br />
for producers to find exactly what they are<br />
looking for. There have been numerous<br />
occasions where we get a producer set<br />
up on InkTip, and literally 10 minutes<br />
to an hour later, that producer found the<br />
exact script he or she was looking for! It<br />
was my goal to make InkTip a place where<br />
everyone goes for scripts and writers, and I<br />
believe that is truer with each new day.<br />
