Script Pipeline discovers and develops writers for film and television, connecting them to producers, agents, and managers.
Since 1999, several produced films and over $8 million in screenplay and TV pilot spec sales are credited to Script Pipeline’s singular, intensive process of long-term writer-to-industry facilitation.
Some major success stories over the years …
In a moment that turned a new spotlight on specs from unproduced writers, Screenwriting Contest winner Evan Daugherty sold Snow White and the Huntsman to Universal for $3 million, one of the biggest spec sales of all time. He later wrote Divergent and Ninja Turtles, amongst other features for studios. His contest-winning script Killing Season was produced and starred Robert De Niro.
Screenwriting Contest winner Tripper Clancy found management with a Script Pipeline partner in 2010, and over the course of a decade, he sold a handful of specs and pitches, was hired to write multiple studio projects, and his action-comedy Stuber, starring Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani, sold to Fox for the mid-six figures. Tripper was also staffed on the Netflix series I am Not Okay With This and created the Roku series Die Hart.
Years later, another historic spec sale followed from an unproduced writer: Screenwriting finalist Crosby Selander sold his script Bring Me Back to Legendary for seven figures as part of a bidding war. Crosby signed with Kaplan/Perrone after Pipeline circulation.
In recent years, Script Pipeline introductions have resulted in writers landing management and agency rep at UTA, Alibi Management, Grandview, Zero Gravity, Kaplan/Perrone, Bellevue, and other top companies. Several finalists and winners have made numerous Black Lists, including Cauliflower by Daniel Jackson (2021) and Pure by Catherine Schetina (2022), both landing on the #1 spot, and 2022 saw a record four Pipeline contest selections on the list.
Script Pipeline searches for new material and develops writers on a daily basis. Over 20,000 screenplays, pilots, and original pitches are reviewed on average annually.
