My name is Dan, I've been working as a screenwriter since 2018 with credits on multiple shows. I'm currently developing a project at Netflix that I sold as a pitch last year. While I mostly operate in TV, I've had films optioned as well. I started this profile to give advice and support other emerging screenwriters. Don't be a stranger!

Hey thanks for reaching out. I'm a horror writer and while I can't talk about what the show is, it should be a fun, scary mystery for those that are looking for a True Detective style show with a supernatural twist ;)

hey congratulations on your Netflix show I wanted to ask did you know how good your script when you first sold it or was it more of a pitch and hope they like it? also what would you say is the key to breaking into the industry as a beginning screenwriter or screen writer Un general who's still waiting for there big break?

There is certainly a part of luck, but you also have to know how to seize every opportunity, and of course, put in a lot of work. Creating your own signature is important too; in the end, no one is better than the other, it’s about finding your own voice.

Hey Isaac,
I sold it as a pitch, but I had written a draft of the pilot a while ago as a writing sample to staff in writer's rooms, but by the time I had finished the pitch the pilot needed to be changed a lot.
If you're not in LA, I would say try and find a talented director to partner with and try and finance/shoot your movie yourselves. The other best resource to break in is the Blacklist website. That's where I had my film optioned.
