Anyone had any success on this website?  I just joined today.  

I've used it from the other side...as a Producer looking for scripts, but I've come across numerous writers who have had some small success.

It's unlikley you'll get Paramount after you, but there's a good amount of decent indies on there...as in competent, make half-decent film indies.

Every horror feature I've had up there (3) Lionsgate have read the logline and synopsis, but not the script.

Stick 'em up here Pia. I want to see them.

You've got what it takes definitely. Your brand of dark, twisted stories with undercurrents of sinister humour is perfect for a breakout psychological horror.

Just pick a story with a strong marketing hook and punish that fucker.

Rick, thanks for that!  

I can't because they are scripts that I have written and someone else have rewritten. I need to get more serious and do the rewrites myself. I just absolutely fucking hate rewrites.  


PS. don't tell me I'm weird. That's old news to me.

You're weird.

Yeah, I vaguely remember being a member of WriterScriptNetwork.com around ten or so years ago.  Same site, new name.  I also remember getting three to four hits a day on my logline and synopsis, but no one ever bothered reading the actual script.  I hope that isn't the case this time around.  Then again, most of what I wrote ten years ago was utter crap.

I've had one of my scripts up on Inktip.com for the last 6 months, and never got a single hit on my synopsis, much less the script, and a lot of the hits for the logline were the several companies doing multiple searches on the same day.

Frankly, I got far more emails than I cared for from the site owner than I got interest in the script.  And the newsletter he provided gave me just 2 leads in 6 months, from which I've not heard back.

It's probably not worth the money and effort to sign up on there as opposed to other services or doing the marketing yourself.  But I'll probably try once more when I have a full-length feature I'd care to try.

I had a few people read the logline and one person read the script.  That's as far as I got.

Alright, I have to recant a little bit of my bad-mouthing here.  Inktip just offered a free extention of my listing because of the no-hits-on-the-synopsis thing.

So they might be worth it to you, but I imagine $60 could be more effective if you had some free time to do query letters yourself.

Stick your log-line up on here kendg8r. It might need a make-over.

I personally think it is a good resource for weekly updates as to what is being of interest out there. I facebook with the owner and he is trying to give exposure to a group of professionals who subscribe to his service.

Product meets demand. Sure, it is a pay service but if you look at the depth of the companies he currenty has looking at the scripts posted on his site, it is not hard to figure out it might be worth the expense to give it a try.

By the way, his weekly news letter posting the most up to date request from companies seeking new material is FREE OF CHARGE.

Sometimes you can see some of those request posted here but if you email Jarrel at Inktip, you can get on the newsletter and have those request sent directly to your email account.

My take is, that there is no such thing as a bad avenue for success. This is one of the better ones.

I agree with Shawn 100%. Putting scripts up here at SS though gets a lot more attention and contacts. At least in my experience.  

Also,

A pitchfest that was recently held, was sponsered by INKTIP as well. From what I understand, it was a great success.

Not to mention, if you have a subscription with INKTIP, you can post your script, logline, and synop, for FREE for eight days just to try it out.

I did and got several hits on my script.

Just some thoughts.

Inktip is basically the screenwriting equivalent of Match.com.

On paper Inktip sounds amazing (like the Miami Heat) but you're better off spending your time going the tried and true query letter route and making good old fashion contacts within the industry. The way I see it is that it's a place for minor production companies to shell out options for no $ for scripts that will never get made.

The only successes I've seen from Inktip have been from very minor production companies seeking out scripts that haven't gone anywhere or at best have lead to generic movie of the week type deals that never play out.  (I know a few people from this site have made deals through Inktip, but most aren't anything to write home about) The only "talent" I've seen them attracting is washed up actors that are going for movie of the week type stuff on Lifetime network, or even things less than that.
Basically, if you want to have the script you've spent the last year pouring your heart and soul into end up in the hands of a crystal meth'd out actor like Tom Sizemore or any other D list celebrity than Inktip is for you, if not, please, for the love of God, avoid this site. Unless your dream is to make something even worse than a Uwe Boll film.

The forerunner of the site, Jerrol Lebarron; if I'm not mistaken, is great at communicating via email with anyone that signs up, but everyone should be well aware that he's a good businessman but doesn't hold much if any clout industry wise. Take that communication with a grain of salt because first and foremost he's out to cover his own butt, and on the totem pole he's at the very, very bottom.
Overall, I just don't want anyone here to put that much effort or that high of expectations into Inktip because it won't pay off in the end.
