The Script Pipeline First Look Project
Emerging or unverified festival
The Script Pipeline First Look Project is a U.S.-based screenwriting and TV-pilot competition run by Script Pipeline that focuses on higher-concept material across multiple genres and aims to introduce select writers to representatives and producers. It is notable for judging entries not only on writing quality but also on originality and market potential, which makes it a gateway-oriented competition rather than a traditional film festival.
