Here's What Your Peers Say

  • 2020 Grand Prize Winner, Guy Rowland

    Getting the prize was a big shock. I didn’t quite realize that those 40 people on the mentor page would be having one-on-one meetings with me. And these weren’t interns – they were producers, writers, execs, agents, and managers working in the heart of the system.

  • 2021 Tirota/Finish Line Social Impact Prize Winner, Alexandra Qin

    Jenny has been instrumental in my success with Thirstygirl and everything I’ve written since . The notes from Finish Line notes are succinct and extremely helpful and Jenny’s outreach to the industry helped me meet people I never dreamed of, including my manager.

  • 2020 First Runner Up, Theodore James

    After submitting that script, I received seven pages of detailed notes within a matter of days. I had received feedback from other companies specializing in coverage and notes, but all those notes paled in comparison to the feedback I got from Finish Line. These were specific notes to make my script better.

  • 2020 Second Runner Up, James Woods

    The Finish Line Script Competition is hands-down the most valuable writing competition I've entered. If you've written a script and are looking for considered, professional, invested feedback, or you're hoping for genuine access to Hollywood decision makers, then do yourself a favor and enter.

  • 2021 First Runner Up, Lorenzo Galuszka

    Placing First Runner-Up in Finish Line has changed the entire trajectory of my screenwriting journey. I’ve had meetings with managers, agents and producers, all of who praised my script and indicated their interest in reading my next one.

    I recommend Finish Line to anyone who is looking to get their work in the hands of people who actually get movies made. And even if you don’t place or win, the notes alone are worth it.
