Frequently asked questions
How does ScriptMatch find Hollywood buyers for my script?
ScriptMatch indexes every published industry trade announcement (Variety, Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, Screen International, IndieWire, and dozens more), extracts structured buyer records using AI, and matches your script against the 4,000+ indie and boutique buyers actively acquiring projects. Each match includes the buyer, recent activity, attached talent, and a recommended pathway.
What kind of scripts does ScriptMatch work for?
ScriptMatch is built for feature screenplays and television pilots across all genres. The matching engine considers genre, format, budget tier, themes, tone, and territory focus. Indie and mid-tier projects see the strongest matches because that is where the buyer universe is widest.
Is ScriptMatch free?
ScriptMatch offers a free buyer-discovery tool at /find-buyers that returns the three buyers most active on projects like yours. Full platform access (script-to-buyer matching, pathway recommendations, market intelligence) is available via subscription with a 7-day free trial.
How does ScriptMatch differ from a database of production companies?
A static database tells you who exists. ScriptMatch tells you who is actively buying right now, what they are acquiring, who their decision-makers are, and how to reach them. The data is refreshed daily from real-time industry news, not a one-time import.
