I'm a Marine Corps veteran and I'm new to the industry. I currently work as an investigator for the Federal Government (for the time being anyways...lol). I'm trying my hand at writing for film and limited series. I have a completed, unpublished manuscript and a script, elevator pitch and regular pitch which has garnered some interest. Looking to make connections with other veterans who are willing to guide me through this process as I have ZERO clue what to do next. :)
