Program Description

The Scriptapalooza Fellowship program was developed to honor dedicated writers and to help accommodate their creative process and skills. Creativity has many interruptions; most of them legitimate reasons, such as dealing with life and isolating yourself from all of your demands is not an easy task. 


The six mentors that are onboard:


Shannon Pierce : Pierce Entertainment
Hallie Shepherd : Fireshoe Productions
John Schulte : Pangea
Chad Ridgely : Full Auto Films
Travis Bell : The Seven Bridges Group
Alexandra Shields : Citizen Skull


Helping as many writers as possible has always been the foundation and heart of Scriptapalooza, and this mission will be furthered with the Fellowship.
