Craig James Pietrowiak is a failed screenwriter who's been selling the dream to Hollywood hopefuls for over twenty years. His only accomplishments are starring in a few short films that he produced. Yet, he has the gall to tell others they should pay him hundreds of thousands of dollars every month for advice on how to get rich and famous.
Craig James Pietrowiak is a common thief. He purports to run a company called Network ISA or NetworkISA as a non-profit using the .ORG url but it is anything but a non profit. He literally makes several million dollars a year charging young naive screenwriters hundreds to thousands of dollars a month for screenwriting "resources." He's a piece of [censored] and his "selling the dream" scam needs to be shut down.
He claims to have helped thousands upon thousands of writers get agents and managers and option and produce their scripts, but nobody seems to be giving this guy special thanks credits. Nobody in the business knows who he is and the only "industry pros" who associate with him are the ones too broke to pay their bills because their clients didn't book any jobs during pilot season and know they have to make extra money by volunteering to be his judges.
He also fails to mention that less than .000001% of his contest entrants and ISA members get talent manager or talent agent representation. (t/hose are terrible odds)
Save yourself some money, invest in yourself, invest in your family and invest in your career, but do not give this man money. Never ever trust Craig James Pietrowiak with you hard earned money.
Craig James Pietrowiak's contests are a cash grab. They are nothing but a cash grab -just like all other screenwriting competitions.
Yes, it's offensive that he runs contests that promote diversity when it's really just a cash grab and yes it's offensive that he pushes content on "emerging" artists -meaning young and new artists that don't realize they are being ripped off. He seems to run over 12 contests targeting "emerging" artists and a couple for diversity. He's a piece of garbage for that. But he's not ripping anyone off and he's not a scammer. He's just making that money.
Again, he is not a scammer. He's not ripping people off. He's just maximizing profits on inexperienced writers by selling them dreams of success in Hollywood.
it's a cash grab. That's all.
You might one to run one yourself, instead of blaming all your problems on other people.
