Steven R. Monroe is the director attached to Whiskey Mountain Days, our latest grand prize winner by Bill Walker!
Monroe is known for being one of the most prolific directors working today. To date, he has directed almost 60 long-form projects, including the acclaimed HOUSE OF 9 starring Dennis Hopper, two films for legendary producer Stephen J. Cannell, the controversial and critically acclaimed re-make of the 1978 classic I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, and the sequel I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE 2. He has also recently directed five Tubi original horror/thrillers.
Monroe has an impeccable reputation as a director who brings a unique style to each project and pushes for good performances. He is fast yet efficient, and he is respected by both cast and crew.

Pitch: Whiskey Mountain Days: When a college student joins director Bill Grefé’s independent film shooting in Georgia, he falls passionately in love with a much older woman on the crew, only to face her ex-husband from Hell…
WHISKEY MOUNTAIN DAYS is a sweet coming-of-age romance. If you like show business backdrops, hopelessly smitten heroes, humorous banter, and heartbreaking drama, then you’ll adore Bill Walker’s tender tale of maturation.
We’re inviting approaches now from the industry to take this script from our latest Grand Prize winner to the widest audience possible – and have news on an attachment to the project to share with you next week!

The Hindi rights to Curveball have already been optioned to Exceed Entertainment in Mumbai for a Hindi-language adaptation of this uniquely high-concept thriller! The potential is for the sale to result in a Bollywood-style version that gives a fascinating new twist to this story without impacting the English-language audience, who can expect a grittier style and different kind of sport (and stadium) as its backdrop. English-language rights are still available – and industry producers and established talent can get in touch with us today to find out more and request the script and our vivid One-Page Pitch.

Get representation confirmation and feedback faster than ever before.
Welcome to a fresh year at WriteMovies in 2024, and we’re doing things differently this time. With our new-look Anytime Entry service you can still become a lauded winner of representation and guaranteed pitching to industry, like our many existing winners, but quicker than ever, combined with valuable feedback!
We’re also working with international partners to launch WriteMovies Screenwriters Forum – launching hybrid online and in-person masterclasses and script development sessions and courses. More on this soon!
And with so many winners to pitch following the WGA strike and other industry disruption, plus more industry media news from our founder Dr. Alex Ross, we’re sure of an exciting year ahead…
Anytime Entry – your fast track to a great result!
There’s going to be lots to announce in the coming months, but today we’d like to show you what you get by using our Anytime Entry service. Enter your script at any time at our website for just $45, and you will receive:
- An analysis of the first ten pages of your script, focusing on its key strengths and weaknesses in the key passages that the industry would actually consider before deciding whether to continue.
- A writer evaluation, confirming either that we believe the industry’s analysts would Pass this entry, Consider this entry for representation and pitching (which we will do by entering it in any one of our annual Awards and Prizes this year!)… or that our analyst can immediately Recommend it – guaranteeing you Representation, public promotion and pitching to industry in return for a signed contract to be managed and publicly promoted by us and our partners at TalentScout International Management!
If you’d like a more advanced script report to inform your next steps as a writer, why not enter for a WriteMovies Studio Consulting Report, Development Notes, or any of our services direct from Dr. Alex Ross? You’ll be evaluated for representation, promotion and pitching just the same!
We think this will be a great model for our customers to get prompt confirmation of their project’s potential in the market, and of their own opportunities for representation, from WriteMovies in 2024. And we think you’ll feel the same!
What’s more, it also guarantees you the chance to win any relevant WriteMovies prize or Award that we announce this year – giving you a second shot at representation, promotion and pitching by the end of the year as our view of your entry and the market develops! And even better than that: if you get a ‘Consider’ outcome, you’ll be allowed to submit a new draft of your project to that contest before it closes – giving you every chance to learn from the feedback you got first time around and nail it before the contest winners are decided.
