True stories, with the case for adapting each one

More than 25,000 true stories, each with why it matters now and who would buy it.

Each story says when it happened, what happened, and why an audience would want to watch it now. It suggests the buyers most likely to want it and the formats it would suit.

Three plain scores sit on every record: how hard it is to clear, how risky it is for a brand, and how hard it is to get access to the people and places involved.

Most are historical and drawn from published sources, so a researcher can check the facts before you attach a writer.

Questions about Untapped Stories

No. Each carries a clearance score as a starting point, but true stories involve real people, and a lawyer should review life rights, defamation and privacy before you develop one.

Untapped Stories is mostly historical. Groundswell is contemporary: stories people online have already responded to.
