Our Profile
Tracking early-stage film & TV projects is the process of identifying unreleased titles in development, production, or post-production to secure strategic partnerships.
This involves monitoring global production pipelines, identifying financiers, and engaging with decision-makers before a project is announced in trade publications.
According to industry intelligence from Vitrina AI, over 1.6 million titles are currently tracked globally, providing a massive surface area for proactive business development.
In this guide, you will learn how to leverage supply chain intelligence to find high-value projects 5x faster than manual methods.
Traditional project discovery relies on relationship-based networks and lagging trade reports, which often surface opportunities after the most critical partnership windows have closed. This fragmentation paradox makes it difficult for service providers, distributors, and brands to engage at the moment of need.
This comprehensive guide addresses these gaps by providing actionable strategies for tracking unreleased content from early development through final release using the latest in supply chain intelligence.

What is Early-Stage Film & TV Project Tracking?
Early-stage film and TV project tracking is the systematic process of monitoring content as it moves through the four stages of the production lifecycle: In-Development, In-Production, Post-Production, and Release/Renewal. By gaining visibility into titles before they are publicly announced, businesses can identify high-value partnership opportunities with producers, financiers, and studios.

Why Traditional Discovery Methods Fail for Partnerships
In a market defined by rapid consolidation and weaponized distribution, executives lack real-time competitive intelligence, limiting their ability to identify partnership targets before competitors.
