The 2021 List of Lists powered by Coverfly

One List to Rule Them All

The film industry runs on lists. Lots of lists. Sometimes too many lists. That's why Coverfly's done the legwork and distilled them down into one authoritative list of lists, easily filterable and searchable for your viewing. Happy hunting!

Coverfly's Best

Did you think we ran out of lists? Nope. We thought we'd flex our data prowess and give you a few more.

The Best Unproduced Screenplay List highlights the strongest projects of the past year with elements in place for packaging that have flown under the radar in the marketplace. The list was curated by the Coverfly Writer Development Team which previously packaged projects with UTA and CAA that went on to be produced by Netflix and Imagine among others.

Coverfly has helped hundreds of writers sign with managers and agents over the past few years--but some writers do just fine on their own. Nominated by industry professionals + working film/television writers, the Best Unrepresented Writers list highlights the top writers who achieved impressive career milestones of the past year that are currently not signed with a literary manager.

Roughly 2,000 industry professionals use Coverfly to source clients and projects. These ten projects represent the projects downloaded the most by our industry community of managers, agents, producers, and executives.

One of the most popular resources on the Coverfly Industry portal is the search functionality that provides hyper specific results down to the format, genre, subgenre, writer background, representation status, ethnicity, or unique life experience. These ten projects represent the projects most viewed in industry search results from the past year.
