← the real reason we built this
FOR THE INDUSTRY
When the friction goes, deals that never happened start happening: smaller studios reach stronger scripts, new voices reach real buyers, and one story can travel into every language.
One open ledger of who holds which rights. Coming soon
every fix lives in one signed agreement
INT. THE OLD SYSTEM — REWRITE
The way scripts get bought hasn't changed in decades. Here is what we crossed out, and what we wrote instead.
A great script waits in an inbox for a reader who never comes.
Every script is read by AI, so the right one surfaces when a buyer asks.
Send your script out and hope it doesn't end up training someone's AI.
Your script is read by AI. It is never
Access depends on an agent, a contact, a lucky introduction.
Vetted buyers search by story. The page does the introducing.
Months of back-and-forth between lawyers before a page changes hands.
Terms agreed in advance. The deal closes on the spot. Coming soon
Prices nobody can explain, haggled behind closed doors.
One public rate card, set by the film's budget.
The film becomes a franchise. The writer sees nothing.
Sequel and spin-off payments are written into every sale. Coming soon
“We're not replacing the people who make films. We're removing everything that stands between a great page and a green light.”
— THE SCREEN-PLAI PROMISE
INT. HOW IT WORKS — CONTINUOUS
01
Apply as a producer, executive or financier. We check who you are and accept you before you can search the library.
02
Tell our AI script consultant what you're looking for. It reads the library and explains why each script fits, trade-offs included.
03
Licence, Option or Buy. Declare your production budget and the price is fixed. You see every existing licence on the script before you commit.
04
You, the writer and Screen-Plai sign the same sealed agreement. Pay in full, or a deposit now and the balance on the first day of shooting.
01
Registration is free. Verify your identity once with a passport, ID card or driving licence and a live selfie. We never store the ID images.
02
Confirm it's yours. Each file is fingerprinted on upload, so every version on record is provably the one you sent. Coming soon
03
Sign your Pre-Authorisation Agreement: which deals you accept, your minimum budget, and an optional credit guarantee. We sell only inside it.
04
Deals close on your terms through escrow. If the story becomes a franchise, follow-on payments for sequels and spin-offs are already in the contract.
INT. THE PRICE — DAY
A Buy is a percentage of the declared production budget, falling as budgets rise. The final price is recalculated on the final budget, so it's fair both ways.

INT. THE CONTRACT — NIGHT
frozen = not even we can change a word
Coming soon
Screen-Plai is in beta. Pre-Authorisation Agreements and e-signature are being built, so for now nothing is signed or sold through the site. This is how deals will work.
The writer signs a Pre-Authorisation Agreement up front, setting which rights can be sold, to whom and at what minimum budget. When a buyer's request fits inside it, Screen-Plai can close the deal immediately.
Not ready to commit? Take a 30-day first look
Buyer, writer and Screen-Plai then sign one agreement. Its text is frozen and fingerprinted before anyone signs, so nobody can change a word afterwards.
