Talent Intelligence is a detection and retrieval system for the below-the-line economy. It monitors festival programming, trade coverage, guild activity, verified industry endorsement, credit movement, and project signal — building proprietary intelligence that compounds with every signal. Every person in the system carries two scores: a Momentum Index that measures attention trajectory, and a Hidden Gem Score that ranks them as a representation opportunity. The Radar is where you see who the system has discovered and whose momentum is on the rise. Search lets you hunt by vision, name, image, or hard criteria. Talent Intelligence answers not just who's being noticed, but gives you the opportunity to notice first. The longer it runs, the more it knows.
Daily brief of rising names. See career acceleration, first signals, catalyst windows, representation gaps and more.
Names ranked by Hidden Gem Score (composite opportunity); each person's Momentum Index trajectory shown alongside.

The names you're personally tracking — flagged from the Radar or the Roster, or added manually when you've found someone the system hasn't discovered yet. Each entry carries the original context (where, when, with whom), and surfaces every new signal as it arrives. The system tracks the industry. The Watchlist tracks your read of it.
You meet a cinematographer at a Sundance afterparty. She has one short to her name, no rep, no guild membership, no IMDb page worth indexing. But her director can't stop talking about her, and you can see why.
You add her to your Watchlist that night — name, the short, the director who introduced you, what you saw in her work.
Six months later, she's credited on a NEXT-section short that gets reviewed by IndieWire. Three months after that, Garrett Bradley names her in a panel at TIFF. Two weeks after that, a studio DP drops out of a $40M feature and the director is asking around.
You see all of it the moment it happens. With the note from the night you met her still attached.
This is what nobody else gets to do. Notice first. Track forward. Be there when it breaks.
Every working below-the-line professional with documented credits, festival history, or guild membership — added the moment they appear in trade coverage, festival programming, guild announcements, industry endorsement, or verified credit movement — or when you find someone the system hasn't yet seen, and add them yourself. Browseable by craft, region, representation, and project history, with the trajectory data behind each name. The longer it runs, the deeper it gets.
