Over the past few weeks, we've been working closely with all filmmakers on how to improve Slated and help your film look the best it can for the community.

The feature that was requested most was to add additional verification methods for the attached cast.

Slated requires that all attachments are verified independently to ensure a high level of integrity and help build trust in the community. 

So we designed the system to send an automated email to the addresses of the cast and crew being attached.

We learned quickly that filmmakers are comfortable with sending verification emails to the principal crew (e.g. Directors, Writers, Producers), but cast is different due to the sensitivity around the manner by which independent films are packaged. 

Some filmmakers don't have cast emails and would like to verify through their representatives. Some filmmakers have Letters Of Intent and can verify directly with Slated. And some filmmakers simply didn't want to enter a high-profile actor's email address (even though we don't ever disclose email addresses or contact them for any other reason). 

WELL...WE HEARD YOU LOUD AND CLEAR

1. We have added two additional verification methods which are now available for you to use. so now you can Verify with the Actor, their Representative or with Slated directly. 

2. We'd like to assure you that we never contact the attachments you add (cast, crew or financiers) other than to verify their involvement in your film. Verification is done through a simple automated email that is written as if it comes from you, the filmmaker.

3. We offer full confidentiality for both cast and investors should you be in the middle of packaging your film and don't want to share names with the community just yet. This can be changed at any time.

NEW FEATURE: Additional verification methods

Verify your cast in three different ways. Selecting one of these options sends an automated email on your behalf to the Actor, their representative or us at Team Slated.

NEW FEATURE: Resend verification

Don't forget to get your team to fill out their profiles. Investors will want to know who's behind the project and the more information that is presented, the more confidence an investor will have before reaching out. So get your team to help. If they've lost their verification email and you need to send it again, click EDIT and RESEND VERIFICATION next to their names on the film page.
