“Deadline understands that a script was sent out using the Embershot software, where buyers can only read it through the app and it gives writers and their teams data as to when it was read and by whom. The service gained prominence after Zach Cregger revealed that he used it to send out the script for Weapons."

"How did it ultimately end up at a studio?

Roy [Lee] and I hatched a plan where we would distribute it to all of the studios at the exact same time, through this program called Embershot. It is a very secure software where you can only read [a screenplay] through the app."

“Embershot is something that if you really want to control the process of who and how something is being read, and quite frankly keep it confidential, you can send out digital versions of the script that cannot be screenshot.They basically can only be read on one computer by the person whose e-mail was sent.”
