Writer Success

After my horror script CUTTHROAT placed in the Launch Pad Top 100, the project gained momentum. I met with manager Dash Aiken at Romark Entertainment and decided to sign with him.
Carolyn Kras
2021 Top 100
My script DUST TO DUST placed in the Top Ten of Launchpad's Feature competition; Andrea was a judge and fell in love with my script. She's a passion advocate and thinks it's one of the best scripts she's read all year.
Cate Honzl
2020 Top 10
Signed with Andrea Dimity at Pannon Entertainment
When I first entered, I was a college student who couldn’t get anyone to read my script. Now after winning Launch Pad, I have connected with so many amazing people who want to make my visions a reality. After winning, I met with multiple managers and eventually signed with Russell Hollander at Fourth Wall Management who has been fantastic in helping me shape my career. I would not have been able to tell my story and make the connections I have without the exposure and platform Launch Pad has given me.
