A week ago, we announced our first slate of Gauntlet Endorsed Scripts. We threw a party, and yes, a scrunchie cannon was involved.

Well, this is a little awkward.
Despite a few inaccuracies, all press is good press.
We’re grateful for the attention.

Heya #Scriptsky, #Filmsky;
Just wanted to give you a heads up on some predatory practices over on FilmFreeway.
I've noticed a lot of new(ish) "festivals" doing a cash grab. They reach out to you with a discount code offering 25, even 50% off their $50-100 submission fees. What a deal!

Unfortunate timing when choosing the name for your company. Jack Black starred in High Fidelity the same year this brand picked their name.

A surprising amount of good scripts have run the Gauntlet the last few weeks!
Typically, 22% climb to Level 2.
It's been close to 40% lately!
If this keeps up, we might go broke. 😂

Just a reminder that no script competition or coverage service can really guarantee that their readers won't use AI.
But the Gauntlet can.
