A major production studio receives thousands of scripts from third-party writers, forming the top of the funnel for future productions. The challenge lies in triaging this vast volume into a manageable shortlist for greenlighting. Historically, this process was highly manual: reviewers read each script, summarized it, and completed a scorecard before sharing insights with executive producers. While critical for identifying blockbuster opportunities, this workflow consumed significant time and resources, slowing decision-making and increasing operational costs.
To address these inefficiencies, the studio partnered with Support Partners to implement a script analysis engine, using Support Partners’ Catalyst professional services and AIR Fusion platform. Script Analyzer parses scripts to extract characters, scenes, dialogue, and settings, generating structured insights for actionable decision-making. Among its outputs is a detailed director’s review, reducing the workload for human reviewers and ensuring consistency across evaluations. Each script is processed by Catalyst before human review, saving valuable time and delivering standardized summaries regardless of reviewer variance.
The Catalyst is transforming the studio’s development pipeline. The average script review time is dropping from two days to just 30 minutes, enabling faster project greenlighting and improved investment decisions. Downstream, the AI-driven analysis provides richer insights, such as character traits and scene dynamics, with the goal of supporting casting and production planning. Beyond efficiency, Catalyst’s Script Analyzer introduces consistency and scalability, positioning the studio to handle growing script volumes while maintaining creative rigor and operational excellence.
