We all have heard about screenwriter selling a spec script for
seven figures (see Max Landis) but who are the power brokers who

and his impressive client roster includes the likes of David
Guggenheim, writer of Safehouse; Ken Marino, writer/producer
of Wanderlust and writer of Role Models; Maria
Maggenti, writer of MTV’s Finding Carter; and Ransom Riggs,
writer/co-executive producer of the upcoming supernatural horror

youngest people ever to make the list. He is known for his
impeccable taste and his strong industry relationships which help
him garner six- and seven-figure sales for his clients in a
shrinking spec marketplace.
