Nick RothFirst Look Project Winner

“I have had a tremendous experience with the Script Pipeline First Look Project. Within weeks of winning, I received some great feedback on my pilot and found representation. It's given me and my career a much-needed tangible (and psychological!) boost.”

“

Greg WayneContest Winner and "Recommend" Writer

“Script Pipeline gives the best notes. Whenever I'm struggling with a project, their staff never fails to provide feedback that elevates the story. They take their commitment to "Recommended" writers, contest winners, and finalists incredibly seriously, and do an amazing job of getting those scripts out into the world.”

“

Elizabeth MusgraveScreenwriting Contest Finalist

“For writers without representation, it's not just about placing in competitions but having a support system where you can feel safe to bounce off ideas and ask questions. The staff at Script Pipeline provide that. They're in it with you for the long-term and genuinely want to be a part of your career. I've never experienced that type of nurturing when I've placed in other contests which, in my opinion, sets them apart from all the rest.”

“When I relocated from NYC to LA to pursue sitcom writing, everyone I met in the industry said it wasn’t about entering competitions, it was about entering the right competition. Script Pipeline was a turning point.”

“

Charles StulckScreenwriting Contest Finalist

“Less than a week after the competition was over, I scored a meeting with a manager for my finalist script. We hit it off right away, and I am now signed with a smart and talented rep who takes this industry and my writing seriously. For someone like me from a no-name town, who doesn't have any contacts, this is a huge opportunity. I can't thank Script Pipeline enough for their dedication and the exposure they are able to provide for writers.”

“

Diana WrightFirst Look Project Winner

“Winning Script Pipeline's First Look Project and being a finalist in their TV writing competition has been a huge boost to my career. The Script Pipeline staff goes the extra mile promoting and championing their winners' work and have gotten me opportunities I would never have been able to get on my own. It's wonderful being a part of the Script Pipeline family, and I am proud to be counted as one of their winners.”

“

Peter Malone ElliottScreenwriting Contest Winner (Junior)

“I've been blown away by the amount of work Script Pipeline has put into getting my script out there. It's remarkable the amount of industry reads I had after the announcement. Probably the best part: they're interested in not just the script that won the contest, but in you as a writer. From reading and circulating additional material to developing new concepts with you, the Script Pipeline team is a wonderful partner, and I count myself lucky to have them by my side.”

“

Melanie Schiele, Writer/Director (Butterfly Children)Screenwriting Contest Finalist

“In a vast sea of screenwriting competitions, Script Pipeline goes above and beyond. They don't view you as just another entrant, but a real person trying to get their voice heard in the industry.”

“

Sara MongeTV Writing Contest Finalist

“While I knew Script Pipeline would help circulate my script, the amount of attention they gave my pilot, my other material, and me was mind-blowing. I wouldn't be here without them.”

“

Jess McKillopTV Writing Contest Runner-up

“Within hours of Script Pipeline announcing the results, I was getting read-requests from management companies. Within a week, one of those companies reached out and asked to meet with me. Two weeks after that, I had a manager. . . . I think the only mistake a writer can make with Script Pipeline is not submitting each year. If you don’t get the result you were hoping for, then just keep working and resubmit the next year. It is 100 percent worth it.”

“

Jen Badasci & Christopher PoeScreenwriting Contest Finalist

“

Sommer RusinksiTV Writing Finalist

“Having no connections to the industry and needing some quality feedback, I turned to high-level contests like Script Pipeline.

“

Colin CostelloScreenwriting Contest Finalist and "Recommend"

“I can't say enough good things about Script Pipeline. It's a contest that truly cares about the writer. When you're a winner or finalist, you really feel like you joined a special tribe or family. They are supportive and very meticulous about the scripts they select. If you only can enter a few contests, make Script Pipeline one of them.”

“

Kay TuxfordTV Writing Contest Winner (Queen of Thieves)

“The dedicated Script Pipeline staff root for you and your writing career every step of the way. They champion your work and sing its praises to exciting industry contacts. I've never been so honored to win a contest and will carry this achievement to push me through those tougher days of writing.”

“

Craig Weeden (Painkiller Jane)Screenwriting Contest Finalist

“My advice to aspiring writers is to keep getting (and incorporating) Script Pipeline Development Notes on the same script until it earns a Recommend. Why? Because there are certain techniques that won’t make sense until your writing skills and the script itself reach a certain level. I did this with 2011 Script Pipeline finalist screenplay Diamond Payback, and it was the best screenwriting “course” I ever took.”

“

Joe TowerScreenwriting Runner-up

“Script Pipeline not only provides a solid foundation on which to get credible feedback on your work and a springboard to propel you into making some real progress, but a generous and richly-cultivated community of authentic support and cheerleading that exists nowhere else in the Hollywood landscape.”

“

Jenny RafteryTV Writing Contest Finalist

“

Justin KwonFirst Look Project Winner

“Script Pipeline has been nothing but wonderfully supportive in providing feedback for all my material. They go above and beyond for their writers, even advocating for their winners and finalists from years back. The appeal of their contests isn't simply the prize, but the continuous support they offer.”

“

Daniel KavanaghTV Writing Finalist

“The best part about becoming a finalist hasn’t been the meetings and opportunities that have come as a result of their efforts on my behalf but the relationships I’ve been able to build with their brilliant staff and talented community of writers. The folks at Script Pipeline are story experts who provide excellent notes and really care about building and maintaining long term relationships with writers they’ve discovered. It’s been a pleasure to work together, and I anticipate it continuing for a long time.”

“

Debbie CastanhaScreenwriting Finalist

“Script Pipeline is that rare contest that sincerely cares about its writers--and actually walks the talk. From their resubmission policy (a rarity in the contest world), to their ongoing efforts to connect writers with other writers, prodcos, and reps, it was the first time I felt like someone was in my corner fighting with and for me.”

“

Mark Mahon, Writer/Director (Strength and Honour)Script Pipeline "Recommend"

“The constructive feedback I received allowed me to take my screenplay to another level--the film won over 22 awards worldwide. I would highly recommend Script Pipeline.”

“

“The TV and film industry is like a maze that can prove difficult--if not impossible--to navigate. Script Pipeline is your GPS!”

“

Gary KingScreenwriting Contest Finalist

“Being a finalist got me a meeting, an offer for representation, and has immediately given me exposure to high-profile managers/producers that I could never reach directly on my own. I'm still blown away where my script has been requested. And I really appreciate that they don't simply blast the industry in a 'one and done' manner. Knowing they actually go the extra mile and tailor their pitches to people's tastes makes all the difference--you realize they care about and respect the writers.”

“

Justin BestScreenwriting Contest Finalist

“I've been a finalist in several screenwriting contests, but none match the level of attention and commitment that I received from Script Pipeline. It's evident they really care about the success of their people, not just as competition winners, but as actual working writers.”

“

Eddie Mensore (Mine 9)Script Pipeline "Recommend"

“When you're an independent filmmaker without a development team, you must rely on coverage. The readers from Script Pipeline on 'Mine 9' nailed it. My movie got made without the studio, and I can't thank the Script Pipeline enough for that.”

“

Andrew Martin RobinsonScreenwriting Contest Finalist

“Script Pipeline's care and attention for their finalists is unparalleled. Their network is vast and their reputation stellar.

“

Helen Gaughran (Visitation)Screenwriting Contest Winner
