This campaign was all about finding TV drama screenwriters who are primed for success in the marketplace. This season brought us one rising talent that we’re very excited for, and a TV pilot that is pitch-worthy.
Congrats to the winner Rowan Meyer for his work on Lemonlight. A strong writer who we believe is ready for the market. We have set him up with representation and they are currently discussing terms.
Also congrats to Alex Major for his work on Buffalo Nation, a concept that is very well researched and timely. Alex is in discussions with literary reps regarding the representation of the project and potential pitches to networks and streamers.

| Dalilah Nguyen (nu-wang) | Molly Brady |
