Hi all. I'm a one-trick pony -- a writer.
My first screenplay, THE AMEN SISTERHOOD, won the Humanitas New Voices award and is top 1% on both Coverfly and Stage 32. Logline: Five Black women band together to stop a gang from openly selling drugs in the courtyard of their housing project, risking their lives to make a difference. My second, THE ROMMEL GAMBIT, won the Big Apple Screenplay Competition, finished in the top 6% in the Nichol, and is top 1% on both Stage 32 and Coverfly. Logline: Shortly before D-Day an American spy plants false intelligence to convince the SS that Erwin Rommel, in charge of Nazi defenses against the upcoming invasion, can’t be trusted.

If interested I'd be glad to send pitch. All best, John

In regards to The Rommel Gambit - have you checked out the Jewish Film Institute? >> https://jfi.org/for-filmmakers >> they have a lot of grants!
Shellie, thanks for the response and the advice. While my protagonist in ROMMEL is Jewish and it deals in part with the notorious Vel d'Hiv Roundup. I'm not Jewish so the JFI probably isn't for me. Best
Thanks Matthew. All best
Hey John! This is great. Thanks for sharing! have you met with Thomas Pemberton about this yet? This is a story that he specializes in.
