Upgrade your script feedback experience with the Gauntlet. As screenwriter Brian Salay puts it, getting seven real opinions in a single submission is “revolutionary.” P.S. You don’t need a completed script to enter. Save money now. Finish your script later. Offer ends Nov. 30th.

Jack Azadi is the very first writer to make it through the Gauntlet with his script FROM THE SHADOWS TO THE SUN. It only reasons that he should be the first writer that we let answer a few questions to give us an insight into who he is.

With certain script competitions and coverage services shutting down on top of the rise of A.I., accessing script feedback from real human readers just became trickier. Gauntlet readers are 100% real professionals who won’t (CAN’T) use A.I. to assess your script.
