Screenwriting / TV Writing Finalist Signs with Management

October 13, 2025

Script Pipeline finalist Nick Grant has signed with Zack Zucker (Bellevue) after introductions by Pipeline.

The Pipeline team helped develop Nick's top-5 script POV before circulation to Bellevue and other managers. He signed with Zack only a few weeks after.

Nick was also a finalist this year with a pilot (Cul-De-Sac), marking only the second time in Pipeline history a writer placed as a finalist for both the Screenwriting and TV Writing competitions in the same season. In addition, he was a semifinalist with his feature The Temple, an adaptation of an H.P. Lovecraft short story.

Pipeline execs said of POV: “A massively fun thriller that legitimately keeps you guessing… Almost like a Hitchcock film melded with the dark perverseness (in a good way, but no less creepy) of a contemporary neo-noir.”

Zack previously signed a Book Pipeline winner, author/screenwriter Aaron Phillip Clark.
