Let’s be honest — we’ve all hit the wall.
“We don’t accept unsolicited scripts.”
“You need representation.”
“You can’t get representation until you’re discovered.”
“You can’t get discovered unless you have a referral.”
“We only read scripts from industry-trusted contacts.”
Sound familiar?
That frustrating, closed-shop loop is exactly what inspired my latest script:
THE GATEKEEPERS — a coming-of-age drama that takes direct aim at the barriers we’ve all faced trying to break in.
It’s raw. It’s real. And it’s probably a little too honest.
If you’ve ever screamed into the void after your 10th “pass,”
or wondered if anyone in this business actually reads original work anymore...
I invite you to read The Gatekeepers.
And if you see yourself in Laney, Stanton, or Jackie — let me know.
We’re not alone. And we’re not done.
Good call - write what you know!
Thanks, Nick Of course, it will never make it past a gatekeeper LOL. I did make it to the quarterfinals on PAGE today.
