Questions About Our Data

How can DevelopmentLeads.com help generate MORE business for my business? DevelopmentLeads.com is designed specifically for industry professionals and organizations that provide production services, equipment rental, facilities and locations to feature films & television shows. We provide you with the specific information you need to contact the production decision makers (e.g. director, producer, line producer, UPM). Each lead contains the phone and fax numbers for the production office and/or the producer’s office. Click here to view example. And DevelopmentLeads.com continually tracks projects and provides updates when production offices change locations, personnel or shooting location information changes, etc. so you stay very informed. The more projects you learn about the more pitches you can make. And the more pitches you make, the greater your likelihood to make a sale. 

How often is the information on DevelopmentLeads.com updated? Data is added and/or updated twice a week on Tuesdays & Fridays except for major holidays, and the weeks of Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. 

How many projects are being tracked in DevelopmentLeads.com? The DevelopmentLeads.com database tracks thousands of film and TV projects. 

What kinds of projects can be found in DevelopmentLeads.com? We provide data for the following projects: Major studio and independent feature films; new television series such as sitcoms, dramas, etc.; cable TV movies; TV specials (Awards, Comedy, Musicals, and Reality), TV movies of the week, TV talk shows, TV miniseries, network and cable TV pilots; TV game shows and more.

How do you get your leads? We aggressively hunt down our data using a variety of industry resources and contacts. Plus we make hundreds and hundreds of telephone calls to producers, directors and other other key industry executives on a regular basis.  

How is your information different from what appears in the trade charts? We track projects from pitch or sale through production. So, we list many, many projects in pre-production when they open up production offices or earlier -- before they even hit the trades. Plus, the information in the trades is often incomplete because it doesn’t list the actual production office phone numbers, fax numbers and correct addresses. Some films, movies of the week, etc. you will find on DevelopmentLeads.com never appear in the trade charts. 

I already subscribe to another service that emails me a weekly report. Why do I need DevelopmentLeads.com? You can act on information faster through DevelopmentLeads.com because we update our database more frequently. Additionally, you get more from DevelopmentLeads.com because you have access to the entire database of projects we are tracking not just the projects recently added or updated. And you have the flexibility to design reports to suit your needs. Our user friendly interface allows you to search for projects by title, director, shooting location, etc. You can even bring up the entire slate being tracked for a specific production company.
