## Summary

Stage 32 has launched a marketplace where film and television executives can find scripts that have been assessed by human evaluators. The company says the service is partly intended to help address the rise of AI-written submissions, while making promising projects easier for industry professionals to discover.

The marketplace opened with more than 4,000 projects and is available to 3,000 industry executives, who can review creators’ credentials, download scripts and request meetings. Stage 32 says it has evaluated 235,000 projects since its launch in 2011, and only scripts given “exceptional valuations” are included. The platform’s head, Richard Botto, says Stage 32 has a strict no-AI policy; projects that began there include *Neighborhood Watch* and *No Address*.
