WriteMovies.com (founded 1999) is the first international website created to act as a meeting place for global filmmaking talent. It is the only website simultaneously addressing the needs of writers in english, french and german. The site presents more free industry news on a daily basis than does the Hollywood Reporter. Apart from a popular writing contest and consulting business, the site offers tips, articles, interviews, reviews and a thriving online community to help beginners as well as more experienced writers in their chosen profession. Hundreds of writers have found representation through the site and many have had projects optioned and produced as well as books published. Amongst the writers discovered by the founder of the company Alex Ross are Andrew Niccol who wrote and produced THE TRUMAN SHOW (for which he received an Academy nomination). Most recently Iris Yamashita (contest finalist and consulting client) received a well deserved Academy nomination for her script LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA. We are proud of our writers and proud to have made, and continue to make, a difference.
