Ideas Base is open to anyone and is segmented into two main sections:

'Creatives: who generate the ideas and projects e.g.: students, writers, filmmakers, journalists or professionals... and

'Producers & Distributors: who are responsible for the production and distribution e.g.: broadcaster, film or television production company, newspaper, publisher, theatre company, internet portal or festival...

Ideas Base is a showcase for any source, genre or element of story telling: personal stories, books, magazine articles, films, television & radio programming, scripts, plays & theatrical productions, fact or fiction...

Finding someone to take an interest in a project or idea, to locating new content or stories that fit your needs can be and exhausting process. Ideas Base solves this problem by offering an area where all sides; creatives, producers and distributors can find each other easily.

When competing with established companies, individuals face a greater competition when approaching producers and distributors on an independent basis. Ideas Base aims to level the field by giving the individual access to a greater variety of targeted distributors than ever before - not only in their particular area but across the whole community.

As a producer or distributor there are significant benefits too, in being able to locate who and what is required specific to your own needs reducing the amount that is not suitable, therefore being able find that creative talent easily, contact them directly - and always knowing that there is the possibility of finding the next best seller or blockbuster.

Designed for the creative community all listings are categorised and indexed individually to their own set of distribution criteria. Television is different to theatre is different to books. This allows individual distributors find exactly what they are looking for -- making their job easier.

Many ideas and projects have the capability of running across different media outlets and are easily adapted to areas outside of the original format or area of interest, though most of the time they are constrained to one particular area. Subsequently many fantastic opportunities are being lost.

By pooling a huge variety of content from many differing sources we hope to see the community maximise the ideas out there and ultimately see new talent and content flourish." says Phil Hooper of Ideas Base.

To go hand in hand with the launch Ideas Base is running a promotion where all listings are free until the 30th June 2003.
