What Others Say about
GOTHAM SCREEN:

"GOTHAM was our big break into screenwriting. Knowing that we were optioned writers (one of our scripts got optioned following a win at the contest) opened several doors at the recent Indie Gathering in Cleveland and generated a lot of buzz about us and our fledgling production company, Devil Monkey Films."

Patrick Bates,
Devil Monkey Films
