Participant Testimonials...
"The Script-a-thon has been awesome. The first week after becoming one of the winners of the scriptwriting contest, I got 12 requests from industry professionals to read it. Script-a-thon changed everything for me, it elevated me to top contender in the Hollywood script market." - Robin Mizrahi
"If you're like me, you're a writer who thrives on deadlines. Trust me when I telly ou that thirty days to write and revise a feature is EXACTLY what you're looking for. At best, you land a meeting with an agent. At worst, you end the month with another script under your belt. The Script-a-thon is a contest I'll definitely be coming back to year after year." - Jerod Brennen
"The Script-a-thon represents what every contest should thrive towards. Even though I didn't win any of the genres, their friendly staff communicated with me and opened up opportunities that I never received with other contests. Winning 'Best Death Scene', my first contest win, gave me the confidence to continue improving my script, which has now become eligible for scouting." - Joseph Tarling

"The Script-a-thon contest gave me the perfect opportunity to rework my existing script, "Painted Perfect,” with a ticking clock demanding dedication and a gaggle of prizes, especially the possibility of filmmakers reading my work, a worthy incentive." - Mary London
"If not for the Scriptathon, I'm sure I would have laid this project aside... Having the goal to turn something in has pushed me to keep going and has been a great exercise in time management. I am MAKING the time to write and that is all that matters. Thank you Scriptathon!" - Adelita Lopez
"I wanted to thank you all personally for giving me the opportunity to start my script, and although I didn't finish in time to submit, I overcame huge obstacles and was highly motivated to write during the July contest. I had a blast writing and my script has a fantastic start, I got to page 47! Maybe next year. . . . . . " - Patricia Baum
"When I heard about the Script-a-thon, I was immediately drawn to the idea. It was the perfect catalyst to get me back into my writing. Having a fast-approaching deadline was the kick in the butt I needed to dust off my old short and expand it into a feature! I'm so excited to be back in touch with the writer in me!" - Beth Tashjian
"I entered the Script-a-thon at the final hour of the final day, and I sure am glad I did. The administrators of this event are the most professional people I have ever encountered in the serpentine world of screenplay contests. They met every deadline and kept all the writers in the loop from beginning to end. Moreover, the Script-a-thon offered mini-prizes along the way for particular lines of dialogue and exceptional scenes in a script. Who else does that? No one. As the winner of the inaugural contest, I can say that the coordinators were in contact with me immediately, and they seem as excited about my script as I am. I don’t B.S. on this stuff. Script-a-thon puts the writer first, and I highly recommend it to all writers." - C.M Robinson, Overall Winner: Script-a-thon 2010
