Script Pipeline Testimonials

Amazing to see the top two [2016 competition] TV scripts written by women and starring female characters. Thank you, Script Pipeline, for championing our voices and sharing our stories with the industry.

Laura Bensick, TV Writing Contest Runner-up

The constructive feedback I received allowed me to take my script (Strength and Honour) to another level--the film won over 22 awards worldwide. I would highly recommend Script Pipeline.

Mark Mahon, writer/director (Strength and Honour)

I was a finalist in the Script Pipeline Screenplay Competition and attended their writer/industry event. [Director of Development] Matt Misetich steered me toward Jay Silverman and Bethany Cerrona, saying they would appreciate my work (Off the Menu)--and they did! A year later, Jay, my director, wrapped a warm and funny film, and it came about 100% due to Script Pipeline.

Jen Goldson, Screenwriting Contest Finalist (egbok, Galileo)

Script Pipeline's care and attention for their finalists is unparalleled. Their network is vast and their reputation stellar. Thanks to Script Pipeline, less than two weeks after the end of the contest, I signed with a manager. I couldn't be more grateful for all they've done to advance my writing career.

Andrew Martin Robinson, Screenwriting Contest Finalist (Cut Its Head Off)

I cannot overstate the impact that Script Pipeline has had on my writing career. Winning the contest directly led to my new representation, which in turn led to working with studios such as 20th Century Fox.

Tripper Clancy, Screenwriting Contest Winner

My idea led to a messy first draft with loads of promise. But now, by way of a systematic scene-by-scene approach, Script Pipeline is helping me tweak that draft toward its fullest potential.

Jason Vaughn, Great Movie Idea Winner (Interlopers)

Winning the contest has blown open doors with studios, producers, and agencies. Requests for my script have gone through the roof. This experience is literally life-changing, and I will forever be grateful to Script Pipeline.

Tom Krajewski, TV Writing Contest Winner (Supernormal)

I've been amazed at the quality and depth of the development my idea has received since winning the Great TV Idea Contest. I know my concept in a richer, deeper way than I did before thanks to Script Pipeline.

Bryce McLellan, Great TV Show Idea Winner (Verge)

Script Pipeline is a great resource for writers who have either won or been runners-up in their contests. They held on to my script and were instrumental in getting it into the hands of producers several years later.

Will Wallace, TV Writing Contest Finalist (Breathers)

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.

Diana Wright, First Look Project Winner

We are thrilled to be working with the whole team at Script Pipeline. They have quickly proven to be an extremely valuable resource for solid material and incredible writers. While these two projects could not be more different from one another, they meet the standard of quality, entertainment value, and unique voice that we at BGO are looking for.

Susan Ferris, CEO Bohemia Group Originals (BGO)

Script Pipeline introduced me to a manager and helped launch my professional career as a writer.

Evan Daugherty, Screenwriting Contest Winner (Snow White and the Huntsman, Divergent)

Script Pipeline was actually something a friend (who's very high up in the industry) introduced me to, and having her recommend it speaks volumes about how highly regarded a contest it is, even within the upper echelon.

Henry Dunham, Screenwriting Contest Winner

Script Pipeline has such a strong reputation for fostering writers, for thoughtful, constructive feedback, and for its career guidance, Kay and I knew we wanted to throw our hat in that fantastic ring. Hollywood is a rollercoaster, but it's incredible to have people like Matt Misetich [Script Pipeline's Senior Executive] and the rest of the Script Pipeline family helping you to see the tracks.

Elizabeth Dahl, TV Writing Contest Winner (40 Elephants)

We've had a great experience working with several writers discovered by Script Pipeline. They have been a tremendous resource for our production company to find new, fresh voices.

Marty Berneman and Stephanie Varella (Off the Grid Entertainment)

Script Pipeline took a chance on an idiosyncratic script, and it quickly became apparent they had given my work thoughtful consideration. I'm honored to be associated with them.

Morgan von Ancken, Screenwriting Contest Winner (Cutting Numbers)

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.

Craig Weeden ("Painkiller Jane"), Screenwriting Contest Finalist

I've personally signed a number of writers from the Script Pipeline competitions, including Evan Daugherty and Tripper Clancy, and immediately review any material they send my way.

Jake Wagner (manager, Benderspink)

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.

Melanie Schiele, writer/director (Butterfly Children)

No one has done more for our screenplay [Prom Queen] and our writing career than Script Pipeline. They've worked tirelessly in connecting us to industry professionals over the course of six years, ultimately resulting in our script getting optioned.

Debbie Chesebro & Tyson FitzGerald, Screenwriting Contest Winners (Prom Queen)

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.

Howard Jordan Jr., TV Writing Contest Runner-up

There is no better place for writers than with Script Pipeline. Their attention and assistance on helping me guide my career is invaluable.

Nir Paniry, Screenwriting Contest Runner-up

One of the finest contests around. . . a showcase for original, dynamic screenplays.

Haji Outlaw, Screenwriting Contest Runner-Up (Deadmen)

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.

Kay Tuxford, TV Writing Contest Winner (40 Elephants)

Script Pipeline’s First Look Project was an awesome experience. From our first phone call, they became our personal champions and proceeded to surprise us again and again with the extent of their support. Thanks to them, we had meetings with a manager and production companies and are now developing our pilot with Mandalay Entertainment. Entering this contest moved our careers forward in an unprecedented way and was the smartest thing we did all year!

Ben and Tyler Soper, First Look Project Winners (The Devil in Evelyn)

Script Pipeline has been a trusted and valuable resource for screenwriters seeking in-roads to the industry. Their staff is dedicated to finding talented writers and building careers.

Shelly Mellott (Final Draft)

Script Pipeline helped me develop my pilot, found me representation, and played a key role in getting a very ambitious TV project to some of the top producers, showrunners, and even networks. Their continual support and guidance has been invaluable--they are second to none.

Kevin Jones, TV Show Idea Contest Winner / 2-Time Script Pipeline Screenwriting Finalist

My recognition from Script Pipeline gave me the incentive and confidence to keep pushing my writing career.

Josh Chesler, screenwriter (Chasing Ghosts)

I can't thank Script Pipeline enough for all the hard work put into this competition, and into the followups from it. I only have a manager right now because of the work that you do.

Tyler Theofilos, Screenwriting Contest Finalist

I can't say enough good things about Script Pipeline. It's a contest that truly cares about the writer. When you are 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.

Colin Costello, Screenwriting Contest Finalist and "Recommend"

Participating in Script Pipeline has been truly amazing for us and we are honored and thrilled to have won. . . . If you’re an emerging writer with a script you believe in, Script Pipeline is a perfect way to finally get it out into the world.

Greg Martin & Eric Beu, TV Writing Contest Winners

Script Pipeline is one of the best resources available to young writers and filmmakers.

Michael Ohoven, producer (Capote)

I can’t speak highly enough about the Script Pipeline team. The support they provided throughout the evolution of my latest action/comedy screenplay was invaluable. Script Pipeline truly cares about my success, not only promoting my work at every opportunity but also challenging me to push the limits of my skills. Thanks to their efforts, I am now working with a great manager and have an exciting new project on the horizon.

Kristi Hall, First Look Project Winner

In the few days after the competition announcement, we had a slew of terrific meetings. . . . Script Pipeline was a gift from the gods: it allowed us, two unknowns from Australia, to come to LA, meet people in the industry, and begin relationships.

Penelope Chai and Matteo Bernardini, Screenwriting Contest Winner (Cinderella Must Die)

It's a competition that not only promotes creativity, but offers unparalleled support in development.

Kurt Conety, Great Movie Idea Contest Winner (Unwritten)

The team at Script Pipeline has been and continues to be immensely supportive of my writing career, and has genuinely made me feel like I’m part of a writing community committed to helping everyone get one step closer to living their dreams.

Josh Chesler, Screenwriting Contest Finalist

Every time Script Pipeline announces contest winners and finalists, I put those scripts at the top of my reading list. It's one of the most well-respected contests around--the entire team does such an impressive job.

Andrew Kersey, Manager (Kersey Management)

The best part of being a contest finalist is what happens after--getting read by industry members I couldn't access on my own, feedback on future projects, and a priceless ongoing mentorship.

Romi Moondi, Screenwriting Contest Finalist and "Recommend"

This entire experience has given me a tremendous amount of hope. I am truly grateful to Script Pipeline for giving me the opportunity to share my vision with others.

Alex Ross, Screenwriting Contest Winner (Hexen)

Andrew Martin Robinson [2016 Script Pipeline Screenwriting Contest finalist] is a super talented scriptwriter. He really understands the horror genre and his finalist script scared the sh*t out of me. I'm excited to be managing him--his writing reminds me of my favorite genre filmmakers.

Peter Katz, CEO Story Driven

Less than a week after the competition was over, I scored a meeting with Andrew Kersey for my finalist script. We hit it off right away, and I am now signed with a smart and talented manager 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.

Charles Stulck, Screenwriting Contest Finalist
