Contest winner Tripper Clancy signed with a Script Pipeline partner in 2010 before selling several specs.

A few months after the screenwriting competition ended, 20th Century Fox (RIP) selected Tripper for their feature comedy writing team to help develop new material. Later, he was hired to write the animated feature Shedd for Paramount, Stranded for Sony, the Amazon film High Five, the comedy Hacker Camp for Hasbro, and an adaptation of The Art of Fielding for Mandalay / IMG. He sold two specs in that span: The Ambassadors and Winter Break.

"I cannot overstate the impact that Script Pipeline has had on my writing career," Tripper said. "Winning the contest directly led to new representation, which in turn led to working with studios."

Tripper’s first produced studio feature, Stuber (2019) sold in the mid-six figures. The action-comedy stars Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy), Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick, Silicon Valley), Mira Sorvino, and Betty Gilpin (Glow). Following the release of Stuber, he was brought on to write the Varsity Blues reboot and joined the staff of the Netflix series I am Not Okay With This, starring Sophia Lillis (It).

He’s the co-creator, writer, and co-producer of the Quibi series Die Hart, starring Kevin Hart, Nathalie Emmanuel (Game of Thrones), and John Travolta, which debuted in 2020 and ran for 3 seasons.

In 2025, it was announced Tripper would helm the reimagining of Night at the Museum, with 21 Laps and 20th Century Studios producing.
