The release of The Studio Report: Film Development represents the first time in Baseline’s 25-year history that its feature film development information has appeared in print. Baseline StudioSystems is one of the largest and most comprehensive movie and entertainment information databases used by all of Hollywood’s major film studios and broadcast networks. "We're thrilled to partner with a formidable company such as Baseline StudioSystems" said Matthew King, VP, Editorial Development & Strategic Planning of The Hollywood Reporter. "The Studio Report: Film Development directory will give those involved in the creation, packaging and selling of film projects the opportunity to strengthen their understanding of the market's nuances and the tendencies of the major buyers. This directory, as a companion to the Hollywood Creative Directory line of books, will make the perfect tool for anyone who wants to stay on top of the film business." Alex Amin, EVP of Baseline StudioSystems, sees the directory as “an extension of our database for the professionals who use our products. Film development is one of the most important yet guarded aspects of the filmmaking process. Our hope is that The Studio Report extends the availability of this information to working professionals who normally can’t readily access it.” The directory’s main body consists of an alphabetical listing of all in-development projects that moved forward within the previous four months. Subsequent sections sort information to highlight various aspects of the projects and cross-reference indices round out the book. The Studio Report: Film Development costs $39.95 and is available through the Hollywood Creative Directory (www.hcdonline.com/800-815-0503) and performing arts bookstores in both New York and Los Angeles. -------------- Hollywood Creative Directory (www.hcdonline.com) is the leading publisher of entertainment industry directories (Hollywood Creative Directory, Hollywood Representation Directory, Hollywood Distributors Directory, Hollywood Music Industry Directory, Blu-Book Production Directory, The Studio Report: Film Development), and the online subscription database.

I Liked It, Didn’t Love It: Screenplay Development from the Inside Out As many Hollywood hopefuls know, the most commonly used rejection line spewed by Hollywood studio executives when they do not buy a script is, “I liked it, didn’t love it,” but what happens when the studio honchos like your script? What happens to your screenplay or novel when it is submitted to a studio or production company? What happens to it after it’s optioned or sold? What does “in development” really mean? After living the lives of studio and development executives and for the past 15 years and selling their own screenplays, Rona Edwards and Monika Skerbelis are able to answer these elusive questions about the development process.
"Rona and Monika bring a wealth of experience to the development process from both the studio and independent producer's perspective…it was only natural they'd write a book about it… [It’s] a book that should be read by everyone who wants to understand the process [and] that movies don't just get made."
“…I wish this book had been around when I was starting out…It would have saved me years.”
