AN INTRODUCTION TO THE
SPEC SCRIPT & THE SPEC MARKET
So, what is a spec? If youve ever perused the pages of our annual Hit List, which
ranks the best specs of the year, youve seen the definition we like to use for the term
spec...

Made, built, or done with hopes of, but no assurance of payment or sale.

This term is one that defines not only what the spec script is, but also the passion,
drive and perseverance a writer must command to set out and tell their story. While
it is often seen as the loneliest endeavor in this industry, it is also one of the most
creative, rewarding, and fulfilling things a writer will ever do. The spec script is one
of the few places left where a writers thoughts, ideas, stories and characters can all
make the leap from their imagination onto the empty pages in front of them, and in
doing so... make their dreams come true.

Let us welcome you to...

This book is not a scattershot of links, a copied

together from press releases and trade articles.
Our TB team has compiled the following pages
in a joint effort with most every Agency and
Management Company in town. It was a
daunting task, but one that proved both inspiring
and enriching.

With our teams research and the amazing


people we work with in this industry, we are able
to provide an in-depth look into one of the most
creative and rewarding markets in the industry.
We broke down the market and the specs that
graced it in 2014 by genre, representation,
months out, months set up, reps out, reps set
up, and alphabetically in the complete 2014

the 5-year numbers building up to 2014, and
highlighted some of the trends and predictions
we see for 2015 and beyond.

2014 proved to be a booming year for both


veterans and newcomers. We believe that having
this information about the industry available
contributed to the decision-making and success
of agents, managers, studio executives, and
writers. We hope that the information we have
gathered in this book will be helpful in decisions
made in 2015.

Lastly, we want to take thank everyone who


came together over the past few years to make
these pages a reality. From our very own TB staff
of writers and researchers tracking down each
spec, to the assistants and executives across

Additional things to know about this book and its contents

Our spec year is tracked from December 1st to November 30th, thereforewithin this
book you will find information on all the specs that hit the market from December 1st,
2013 to November 30th, 2014. That means we did not include specs that came out in
previous years and were set up during 2014 (though some of that information can be
found here). This book is strictly dedicated to the specs that hit the market in 2014.

The film market is a constantly changing organism, with projects continuously


changing in genre, logline, title, agents, management companies, and even production
deals. Specs (as you will see) sell months or sometimes even years after they first hit
the market, writers pick up and drop agents, titles change, and scripts are constantly
being rewritten. A significant amount of our information comes directly from an
Agency or Management Company, however, even with the most diligent tracking, we
received conflicting information on occasion. That said, we are using the best, most
reliable, most up-to-date information available to us, and all reasonable effort has
been made to confirm any and all information presented.

We apologize for any misspellings, misattributions, incorrect representation


identification, and/or inaccurate genre identifications found in this book. If you would
like to keep us current on you, your company, or specific projects for next years Year

com.

The information in this book is ONLY about spec scripts. We did not include pitches
or general sales that have occurred. So remember, just because an Agency or
Management company may not have sold a spec, does not mean that they didnt
have a great 2014 in other areas of the industry.

We think that the information provided is fun, interesting, and informative. We hope
that you feel the same way!

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE TRENDS AND COMPARISONS : 2010-2014


For the past decade, major outlets have been declaring the spec market dead. But, as the
following pages will show, in the 5+ years weve been tracking the market, almost every year
a new record is set, and several multi-million dollar deals are made. So, instead of simply
declaring the spec market alive and well, lets take a look at some of the highlights from 2010
to today, and see how the market has changed.

Total Specs Out


While 2013 saw a record number of specs hit the market (421), similar heights
were not attained in 2014, which saw a more average 369 scripts go out, the
lowest such number since 2011 (362). While this rather significant decline
could be alarming, it is important to note that 2013s record highs were an
unprecedented jump, and the annual number of specs has been between
360 and 380 every other year that we have tracked. In fact, the 5-year annual
average of specs out each year now sits at 381 specs, despite 2013s high
watermark.

Set Up Numbers
Prior to 2014, the number of specs set up from within their individual years (out
and set up in the same year) and the number of total specs set up in a year
(total number or specs set up to include specs out from previous years) had
increased every single year since 2010. This trend ended in 2014, which saw
only 100 specs set up from within the year and 112 total set up, the lowest such
numbers since 2010 (67 for both statistics). This decline likely reveals 2013s
highs to be an outlier, not indicative of an exponential upward trend as might
have been expected last year. This would suggest similar numbers to come out
of 2015.

Set Up Averages
Once again, the comparisons of 2014 to 2010 hold up, with 2014 garnering
the lowest set up average since 2010s 17.7%, with its average of 27.4%. 2010
appears to be an outlier in this calculation, as the intervening years have all
posted averages in the low-to-mid 30 percent, showing 2014 to be a low year,
but certainly not historically low.

www.tracking-board.com
14 HIGHLIGHTS OF 2014

Agents vs. Managers


Prior to 2014, we had seen a new record of Agents and Managers hitting the
market every year. However, in what is becoming a trend for 2014, this year
saw relatively low numbers unseen since our first year of tracking in 2010. The
upward trends of the last few years seem to be leveling off, if not declining.

For Agents, the numbers of specs represented had jumped significantly


from 2010 (198) to 2011 (256) before seeing a slight dip in 2012 (242),
and then smashing all records in 2013 (268). For 2014, that number has
returned to a modest 240, similar to that of 2012.

For Managers, the numbers dipped slightly from 2010 (286 Management
repped specs) to 2011 (284), but steadily increased since through 2012 (304)
and 2013 (356). 2014 saw a second-best ever 312 specs out with managers.
The relative strength of 2014s manager numbers in relation to its other
near-historic lows could indicate an upward trend for managers as opposed
to agents.

Representation by Numbers
Weve also tracked the averages year over year of those specs with
Agents and Managers. Every single year specs out with Managers have
far outweighed those out with Agents - 2011 being the year they came
the closest, with Agencies (70.5% of all specs out) a close competitor to
Management (78.2%). 2014 saw a new high for Management, with 84.6%, while
Agencies came in around average, with 65%.

www.tracking-board.com
HIGHLIGHTS OF 2014 15

Genres
Over the past five years we have tracked every genre associated with every spec
that has hit the market, but with a keen eye on the everlasting top 10 genres.
2014 saw five-year lows for many popular genres (122 Thriller, 83 Action, 88
Comedy specs out). On the other hand, Drama saw a five-year high with 93
specs out. But more than anything, it was interesting to track the rise and fall in
both those hitting the market, and those being set up.

A ction. Action was the genre that most obviously declined in 2014. Its steady
rise from 2010 to 2013 was curbed by a precipitous drop in specs out (83
from 138) and specs set up (25 from 46) in comparison to 2013. Despite this
decline, Action is still second only to Thrillers in five-year averages, with an
average of 91.4 out each year, and 37.8 set up.

A dventure. 2010 and 2011 were strong for Adventure specs, while recent
years have not been so kind. Down to only 24 specs out in 2014 from its
peak of 42 in 2010 and 2011, Adventure saw only 4 specs set up this year, a five-
year low, although only down slightly from 2013 (6).

C omedy. One of the most consistent trends over the last five years has been
the slow decline of comedies. From its peaks of 160 specs out in 2010 and 37
set up in 2011, only 88 Comedy specs went out in 2014, with 15 finding homes.
The annual average percentage Comedies set up fell below that of Dramas for
the first time in 2014, declining to 27.4%. Speaking of Dramas

D rama. Drama saw the only increase in specs out from 2013 to 2014, rising
to a five-year record of 93, putting it into second place behind Thrillers. This
popularity has not yet translated into inflated set up numbers, with only 23
Dramas finding homes in 2014, a marked drop from 2013s 34. Still, Drama has
solidified its new place as 3rd overall in projects set up, passing Comedy, while
still trailing Action and Thriller.

F antasy. Every year since 2010 has seen either 11 or 12 fantasy specs go out,
and 2014 is no exception with 12. The big exception this year, is the number
of Fantasy specs set up. The previous high of 2 in 2012 was shattered this year,
as 50% of all Fantasy specs were set up, for a total of 6. Could this reinvigoration
be due to the influence of HBOs wildly popular Game of Thrones? This is
certainly a genre to watch for 2015, in order to see whether 2014 will be a fluke,
or indicative of a return to big budget Fantasy specs.

H orror. Aside from a drop in specs out in 2011, Horror has been one of the
more consistent genres. The slight decline from 2013 (42 to 33), simply
returns Horror to something closer to its annual average after the historic spec
year that was 2013 across the board.

www.tracking-board.com
16 HIGHLIGHTS OF 2014

R omantic Comedy. Rom-Coms have had a rough go of things over the years,
with both the number of specs out and specs set up plummeting in 2013.
This year has mostly kept pace, with the same number of specs set up (2) and
only two fewer specs out (9 vs. 11). There is a market for the Rom-Com, but its
rarely one for the spec script, as studios and producers have instead moved to
snatching up book rights and attaching stars before hiring writers.

S cience Fiction. While keeping close to 2013s five-year highs in number of Sci-
Fi specs out (62 in 2014 to 65 in 2013). However, the set-up numbers were
low for 2014, with only 14 specs set up, the lowest since 2010. The maintenance
of the number of specs out combined with the lower numbers set-up mean that
Sci-Fis set-up percentage has drastically declined from 2013.

S upernatural. Supernatural had a record low year in 2014, including lowest


numbers of all ten genres in both specs out (5) and set up (1). This is a
precipitous decline from 2013, which had 34 specs out and 11 set up. While
never the strongest genre, setting up only 5 specs in 2010 and 2012, this is a
historic low for Supernatural.

T hriller. Thrillers are king, dominating all metrics across the board, as they
have almost every year, Thrillers did have a slight decline from 2013 in
overall numbers (as almost all spec numbers have), putting them more in
line with 2010s still-dominant numbers. With modest budgets and high box
office returns becoming the norm for this genre, there does not seem to be an
expected drop-off in numbers coming for this genre anytime soon.

A Closer Look at Representation 2010-2014


You may notice that on the following pages, while we tracked 9 different
Agencies and 16 different Management Companies for our year-over-year
comparisons, those may not line up with those highlighted in 2013. The reason
is that in order to make the comparatives lists, we needed to see at least two
projects set up from each Agency and Management Company in 2014. This is
part of an effort to keep this data as current and relevant as possible even
reflecting companies that might not have existed at the time we started
tracking. Lets take a look at some of those that do make the list.

HIGHLIGHTS OF 2014 17

Biggest Growth Specs Out ICM (+12) and 3 Arts Entertainment (+11)
earned the largest growth overall in specs out from 2013 to 2014. For ICM,
this just represents the natural fluctuation of their usual high numbers,
but for 3 Arts, 2014 represents an exponential leap from their past
performance.

Biggest Growth Specs Set Up Paradigm (+3) and Gotham/Principal (+5)


earned the largest growth overall from 2013 to 2014 in regards to specs
set up. These low numbers reflect the overall decline across the spec
market this year, to the point where any growth has to be considered quite
impressive. Gotham/Principal rebounded to tie their highest mark ever, set
in 2011, partly due to its five-year high of 12 specs out.

Overall Representation Growth or Decline With the numbers of specs out


and specs set up going down across the board in 2014, few representatives
can point to significant growth. This overall decline seems to have affected
agencies and management companies fairly equally, but also suggests itself
as a bit of a fluke. Expect things to look up in 2015.

Agencies to Watch Look for the market to stabilize in 2015, bringing things
back up towards the center, thus giving many Agencies increased numbers.
Look for Paradigm and Verve to continue climbing towards the ranks of the
traditional major players, but expect UTA and WME to continue to dominate.

Management Companies to Watch 2014s overall down numbers make it


difficult to gauge who might be on their way up or down. Look for Kaplan/
Perrone to continue their success, along with Circle of Confusion and
Industry, who admirably kept their numbers level despite the downward
movement of the market.

GENRES of 2014
While genre is central to every film production, In this chapter we analyze ten of the top genres
it is perhaps nowhere more important than on the market: Action, Adventure, Comedy,
on the spec market. Spec scripts live and die Drama, Fantasy, Horror, Romantic Comedies,
on the ups and downs of the market cultural Sci-Fi, Supernatural and Thriller. We identify
trends, budgetary conditions, recent box office; the most prominent genre out, the most
all of these factors will determine what a Studio prominent genre set up and what Agency and/
wants to pick up and therefore, what Agents or Management Company worked the best
and Managers will want to put out to best with each respective genre. This information
represent their clients. will give you a picture of which genres are
trending and where.
2014 was another year of big-budget Fantasy
and Action sequels at the box office, but
what does that mean for specs? Are we tired
of superheroes yet, or will they continue to
dominate? Does the next original R-Rated
Comedy have a shot at making it big? With hits
as varied as The Lego Movie and Ouija, what
big name toy brand will hit the screen next?

Studios, Actors, Directors and Producers are all


asking these questions, and the answer often
helps determine their next project. Even before
a logline, an elevator pitch or an email is read,
everyone is already asking: whats the genre?
So for the writers reading, make sure you have
an answer to this question, and even before
putting a single word on the page, understand
all the implications of your chosen genre. In
the spec market, genre is the foundation for
everything to come.

Before you dive in to see the numbers and


figures, here are just a few discoveries and
trends from the Genres of 2014

www.tracking-board.com
GENRES 40

GENRES of 2014
1 Genre vs. 2 Genres vs. 3 Genres

33 specs hit the market with 3 genres affixed to them of those 33 specs, 7 were set
up, making a 21.2% set up rate.

158 specs hit the market with 2 genres listed of those 158, 40 were set up, making
a 25.3% set up rate.

178 specs hit the market with just 1 genre listed of those 178, 54 were set up,
making a 30.3% set up rate.

Conclusion For 2014, the fewer genres, the better. The market was looking for clarity this year
having only one genre listed was an advantage.

Numbers vs. Percentage


Thrillers once again dominated the spec market, with the most specs out (122) and the most specs
set up (40) by a fairly significant margin. This places the Thriller set up rate at 32.8%, good enough
for second place behind the 50% set up rate of Fantasy, which is a much less impressive number
considering the significantly smaller pool of Fantasy scripts on the market (12). Other top genres
out, such as Drama and Action, landed in the middle of the pack in terms of set up rate (24.7% and
30.1% respectively). Meanwhile, Comedy scripts faired far worse, only selling 17.1% of the time,
second only to Adventure specs (16.7%) for the lowest percentage.

The Rise and Fall of Genres: Fantasy vs. Supernatural


With spec numbers down across the board from 2013, one genre had the same number of specs
out from year to year: Fantasy, with 12. However, the least successful genre of 2013 with only
one script set up quickly became the genre with the highest set up rate of 2014, with 6 of its 12
specs selling. On the other hand, Fantasys slightly spookier sibling, the Supernatural spec, fell
dramatically from year to year. Whereas 11 Supernatural specs out of 34 were set up in 2013, only
1 Supernatural spec was set up of the 5 that went out in all of 2014.

REPRESENTATION 05
55 REPRESENTATION

Over the next two sections of this book we will highlight the top 26 Agencies and Management
Companies of 2014. While we tracked 109 individual companies this year, these 26 companies
represent those that successfully set up 2 or more specs scripts in 2014.

Throughout the following sections each Agency and Management Company page will include:

A break down of all of the specs these companies went out with and set up
(highlighted in BLUE) in 2014.
A look at the companys Top Genre, Top Partner and Best Month.
A break down of the number of writers the company has had on The
Hit List (The Best Specs of the Year) since 2010, and The Young & Hungry
List (Top 100 Writers on the Verge) since 2011.
The list of individual representatives (and their specs out and set up
ratios) who hit the market with specs in 2014.
A break down of each individual companys total specs out, set
up, percentage of total specs on the market they accounted for,
percentage of total specs set up they accounted for, percentage of
the companys specs that were set up in 2014, number of specs in the
companys top genre, percentage of the companys specs in their top genre,
and percentage of the companys specs in their top genre that they set up.
A quick glance at how these companies performed in comparison to their
counterparts (Agencies and Management Companies).
A complete break down of the specs each company took out and set up by
genre and by month.

A quick note before we move on. All information for the companies, specs and individual
representatives in these sections has been confirmed and updated to the best of our knowledge by
these companies and individuals. While we work with every agency and management company to
verify all of our info, some information may have changed and/or been updated since the finalizing of
this book. Writers, agents, managers and projects all have the ability to move during the development
process of a spec, so while weve done everything in our power to confirm these stats, it is possible
that some data may no longer be accurate at the time of release.

If you add all of the specs listed throughout the Agencies and Management Companies chapters, you
will not come up with the exact number of specs out, or set up in 2014. The reason being, most spec
scripts out from representatives often have multiple Agents and Managers tied to them. In these cases
the spec will count as 1 spec out and 1 set up (where applicable) for every company and individual
involved.

REPRESENTATION 56

AFTERWORD
Once again, we would like to thank everyone who contributed to this book.
From the reps and writers to the execs and designers, this book would not
have been possible without the cooperation and efforts of a huge group of
people. Were very proud of the work we do at The Tracking Board day-in and
day-out, and creating this book out of years of raw data and hundreds of
listings is a massive task that we are incredibly proud to have accomplished.
Our goal here at TB has always been to make this industry a smarter, better-
informed and more efficient place. We hope that this book is a step towards
fulfilling that mission, and that it can help you in your own personal and
professional endeavors.
