Writer Success

My writing partner and I wrote a feature historical drama script called JUMPMAN about the creator of Super Mario, Shigeru Miyamoto, and the historic rise of Nintendo, which was already making a big splash in the screenwriting contest world. After placing among the Top 10 Finalists of the 2021 WeScreenplay Feature Competition, WeScreenplay connected us with numerous management and production companies. As a result, we had the wonderful privilege of interviewing with several managers. In the end, Mike Diaz of ATN Entertainment left a strong impact on us and seemed to share our vision for our careers, with additional support from manager Ben Pitts and ATN CEO Jennifer Aurianne DaRe. Today, we are excited to say that we are now signed with ATN Entertainment!
