Following introductions by Script Pipeline to management, Screenwriting Contest winner Evan Daugherty sold Snow White & the Huntsman to Universal for $3.5 million. It marked one of the highest-priced studio spec sales of all-time, the biggest first spec sale by an unproduced writer, and subsequently turned Evan into one of the most in-demand writers in Hollywood. The film grossed $450 million worldwide.

Shortly after the contest win, Evan landed an assignment with Warner Bros. to rewrite the adaptation of He-Man, which led to the sale of Snow White. He went on to sell a pilot pitch, then wrote the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot, produced by Michael Bay.

Other studio projects: the adaptation of YA novel Divergent for Summit Entertainment, starring Shailene Woodley and Academy Award-winner Kate Winslet, the Tomb Raider reboot starring Alicia Vikander, a reimagining of the cult hit Anaconda, and Rose Red, based on an original script by Justin Merz and a pitch by Evan. In 2023, he was tapped to write The Ultimate Weapon for Allen Media.

His 2008 winning script Shrapnel was also turned into the film Killing Season, starring Robert De Niro and John Travolta. Corsan and Millennium Films helmed the action/thriller and rehashed the original plot during development. It was the first Script Pipeline winner to get produced.
