"I just want to do a shout out to Max Timm, ISA's Director of Community Outreach. Not only has he put me in touch with a Hollywood studio regarding my script, but has also put me in contact with others who can help my career. Always fast in response, ever helpful. Finally a person and a website that actually helps the writer. THANK YOU.” |
