ISA Fast Track Fellowship Effect

By: Robert Ripley
Testimonial: ISA's Fast Track fellowship was a fantastic experience. During the fellowship week of meeting, I met some fantastic people who had read my pilot, were so welcoming and curious - just the kind of people I hope and love to meet in our industry. But the meetings were more than just good discussion, they were productive - I had three executives ask to send along additional scripts. Those meetings, along with a year of support that comes with the fellowship, entering ISA's Fast Track was a smart investment, and one that has me setup for a productive, career-changing 2021.

ISA Fast Track Fellowship Effect

By: Danielle Nicki
Testimonial: Entering the Fast Track competition was a great investment in my career. The connections I was able to make during the week of general meetings have proven invaluable. In addition to the pilot that ISA sent them before we met, three executives asked to read additional scripts during our call! There are lots of screenwriting competitions out there, but Fast Track provides a year of support and can get you in front of people who can help change your career.
