Problem
Documentary producers often struggle to identify which commissioners are the right fit for their projects and to tailor proposals that meet current commissioning criteria. This misalignment leads to rejected submissions, wasted effort, and missed opportunities for securing commissions.
Solution
Everslate provides a platform that matches documentary proposals with real commissioning criteria and relevant commissioners. Producers upload their proposals and receive detailed, personalized feedback to iteratively refine them until they are submission-ready. Once ready, producers can submit a 3-minute video pilot directly to selected commissioners. The platform protects the producer's identity until a commissioner expresses interest, after which direct communication begins. Everslate also helps producers keep their proposals active as new commissioning opportunities emerge, ensuring ongoing alignment with evolving market needs.
