An impromptu A-Game meetup at #SXSW this year! A whole week of seeing amazing speakers, films, and connecting with the people that help us tell our stores! 2026 is gonna be a great year for A-Game!
A huge A-Game thank you to Jeff Portnoy at Bellevue for being so generous with his advice! “A great script is not enough. You need to have people of value circling your script. When you get enough fans saying your name around town, all of a sudden, everyone wants to work with you.” Thank you, Jeff!
An inspiring lunch with showrunners Leo Chu & Eric S. Garcia (Ultra Violet & Black Scorpion) who shared the secret of “Steve Martin days”, and the importance of breaking through the noise by telling a COMPELLING STORY. “Better to light a candle than curse the darkness.”
“Always be the person willing to go the extra mile.”
Such a great lunch with writer Noah Evslin, who spent his afternoon inspiring A-Game members. Thank you for your time, Noah!
“The first page of your sample should feel like a party, and you’re a good host.”
So much gratitude to Marc Guggenheim for spending so much time with our members and sharing the ins and outs of navigating this business and craft! 🙏
We had an incredible time meeting with Oscar nominees Eric Johnson and Paul Tamasy, who shared invaluable screenwriting wisdom, advice, and wonderful stories.
Thank you, Eric & Paul!
A-Game spoke with Michelle Lee at APPLE, who shared with us how she brought PACHINKO to the screen! At APPLE, they are patrons for artists, and are looking for unique voices to tell the stories we didn’t realize we needed. (Like Ted Lasso!) Thank you, Michelle!
