In 30 days, you'll have a completed pilot or feature screenplay. Daily coaching with Max Timm, proven structure, and a community that won't let you quit.

Stop watching opportunities pass by. Start creating them.

International Screenwriters' Association @networkisa.bsky.social · 9d

All of these career-changing opportunities require one thing: a completed screenplay.

While you're perfecting page 30 for the third time, someone else is submitting their finished script and getting meetings.

The 30-Day Screenwriting Challenge changes that.

International Screenwriters' Association @networkisa.bsky.social · 9d

How many opportunities have you missed because your script wasn't ready?

Every year, thousands of writers watch these deadlines pass by because they're still "working on" their screenplay.
