abovetheline.com is a news and information website that focuses vertically on the global film and television industry. It is primarily geared towards industry professionals, offering first-hand industry news, film and TV project progress tracking, and a yellow page directory for industry talent and service providers. Its content covers industry developments across film, television, streaming and more. Unlike entertainment gossip content targeted at general audiences, it leans towards in-depth, industry-side information.
The website's core offerings are split into three parts: First, daily-updated film and TV industry news, covering project release dates, awards and events, industry personnel changes, key creator updates and more; second, a global list of in-production film and TV projects, with project status tagged by development, pre-production, filming, post-production and other stages, that lets users follow and track projects; third, a directory for industry talent and service providers that allows professionals to create and display personal profiles.
Pricing follows a free-plus-subscription model: Basic membership is permanently free, and grants access to all basic content. Paid subscriptions are offered in three tiers, billed at $39/month for monthly plans, $29/month for annual plans, and $24/month for 2-year plans. Paid subscribers unlock access to the full project list, custom follow lists, featured profile placement in the directory and more. Subscriptions can be canceled at any time with no extra fees.
Pros: Content is updated in a timely manner, with accurate and up-to-date coverage of major Hollywood projects and industry trade shows. It offers far deeper industry insight than general entertainment media; it has high feature integration, combining news updates with project progress tracking in a way that fits the workflow of industry professionals; subscriptions are flexible with no long-term binding requirements.
Cons: Content is heavily focused on the North American film and TV industry, with very little coverage of other regions; there is no Chinese language support, which creates a high barrier for general users based in China; the core full project list feature is only available to paid subscribers.
This website is ideal for cross-border film and television industry practitioners, entertainment industry investors, and entertainment industry researchers. General film fans can also use the free content to get early updates on upcoming projects.
