Why Now?

“What about this story is going to be relevant to an audience today? What about this is going to captivate and get people to watch it? And I think it’s a great way to think about your project and to market and brand yourself.”

In this clip from episode 54 of our podcast with Coverfly’s Head of Writer Success, Tom Dever explores the questions writers should ask themselves as they begin to write their project and market themselves. Coverfly is an online platform that connects writers with the film and TV industry through partnerships with top competitions and fellowships.

Listen to this episode again as we discuss how Coverfly is using data to categorize scripts so that producers can discover writers based on specific filters; how their background in writing and creativity gives the platform more of a human feel; and his advice to not be afraid to write something commercial rather than the auteur film.
