Who performs the analysis on my script?

• Our reports are compiled by using feedback from your future audience, analyzed by statisticians and interpreted by people with deep experience in creative side of the filmmaking.

• We study reader responses to your scripts through statistical analyses of their conscious reactions and their reading behavior.

• The readers reflect your future audience — non-pros rather than professional readers.

• Our readers tend to be first movers, not waiting for reviews or other people’s responses. They tend to be creators of word of mouth.

How should I use the data in a Zoodiker report?

• Zoodiker’s report is a tool that each of your teams may use for their own purposes.

  • Development – Order more drafts or abandon the project? Target development dollars more effectively by knowing the audience’s views of the story’s strengths so you can better direct the writers.

  • Casting – Responses to certain characters may influence casting choices.

  • Marketing – Get an early look at the demographics of the likely audiences.

  • Greenlight decisions – Does this story connect enough to warrant a greenlight?

  • Finance – Cover the whole budget, or lay off a % of risk?

What kinds of feedback will I receive?

• You’ll receive an in-depth analysis of your story as perceived by your future audience. 

• Find where streaming viewers are likely to click away. 

• Responses are broken down by the same demographic categories as test screening audiences.

Can I request specific demographics to see my script?

• Yes, with thousands of diverse readers in our pool, Zoodiker can often tailor the readership to provide specific information on request.

Is my script protected when I submit it to you?

• Yes. They read on our encrypted site _ they do not download your script. Readers can only see one page at a time and the script is only visible to readers for a few days. We know who read what pages and at what time.

How much does Zoodiker cost?

• We’re a fraction of the price of a test screening, with more precise results at a more useful point in the process. Schedule a meeting with us today to discuss pricing.

Can I see a sample report?

• Yes! Please email us at admin@zoodiker.com to receive a free sample report.

Do readers know what they’re reading?

• No. Zoodiker de-identifies each script and readers do not know the production company, writer, nor title of the script.

Why not use AI to do the analysis?

• AI does not buy tickets nor pay for streaming subscriptions. It cannot tell you if a script is good or if a particular story connects with an audience. AI can only tell you how similar stories performed in the past, without regard for rapidly changing audience tastes and cultural sensitivities. Every script is unique in its execution, and every audience is unique to its time. We study your script, not through some algorithm, but through the eyes of your human audience.
