I have a question to ask about Inktip.....?

I just got a report on the views my scripts have received, and I am curious if anyone here recognizes any of these production companies?

Shay:

I've been an Inktip Customer since late 2012. A lot of their producers and filmmakers have limited and older credits. Vindicated Pictures has one feature credit:

This horror film was made in 2009. So it's advisable to vet out anyone you're considering working with.

Additionally, your report for logline hits just means someone viewed your logline and does not indicate interest. Even script downloads on Inktip can go nowhere. The best use of their service is to read their newsletter and look for projects that interest you or where you have something close to what they're looking for. From my experience, passive script listings are not very effective. I've worked with several of their clients and they all came via the newsletter. if you have any further questions you can message me here.

For what it's worth, I've been on inktip a few years, sold a script there and have had about 8 options. Sometimes the company you see in the logline view box has minimal or old credits - but the producer of those films has more credits with other companies and still uses the old company name that will see in the search box. This puzzled me as well until one of them downloaded a script and I saw an actual name; and that producer had more credits with other companies. So, he may not necessarily be searching for the company listed - they need that name to get onto the site. I don't think they let producers on as individuals. Just telling you my experience.

I had a logline and concept stolen from Inktip. I know a director who goes on there to "get ideas." Caveat Emptor

Geno Scala, I agree. I like InkTip, but you do have some that go on the site to take other people's ideas they work hard creating and doing. Have to be careful on any site. It's sad we have folks out here like that but it's life and "Thieves and lurkers " are always looking for ways to come up on other people's work.
