Script Pipeline recommend Doug Rappaport agreed to write a five-figure feature project. From Doug: "I cannot recommend Script Pipeline more highly. Through them, my work was read by director, David Winkler. He liked my writing so much that he hired me to write two screenplays for him, one of which I have just started working on. Script Pipeline didn't stop there. Chad Clough was able to hook me up with a great agent who is now representing me. In a nutshell, Script Pipeline made it happen. Thanks!"
