About John
John Doble's first screenplay, THE AMEN SISTERHOOD, the story of five courageous inner-city women determined to chase drug dealers out of the courtyard of their housing project, won the Humanitas New Voices Fellowship and was a Finalist in three other national competitions. His second, THE ROMMEL GAMBIT, about an American spy planting false information to convince Hitler that his best general, Erwin Rommel, is a traitor, won the Big Apple Film Festival Screenplay Contest, is on the Coverfly Red List and was in the top 6% with the Nicholl Fellowship. Both are in the top 1% on Coverfly and Stage 32. His third, BY ANY OTHER NAME, the story of a cripplingly shy lawyer who falls in love with a prostitute whose mother sees a match, has been named a Semi-Finalist in four competitions.
