Last year’s GET REPPED NOW saw us read over 600 pilot and feature scripts, and 13 were awarded the coveted “consider” for script (around top 4%.)

Fellow scribes, In a rather surprising turn of events, so far we’ve only seen TWO considers out of the 140-plus scripts we’ve evaluated so far during Get Repped Now 2021.
