Chadwick Clough, Executive Director

After graduating from Santa Clara University in 1999, Chadwick Clough moved to Los Angeles where he worked for multiple production companies on the ground floor of feature film development. Realizing the need for a solution to the hundreds of spec scripts left unread in production company and studio offices citywide, Chadwick envisioned a "matchmaking" service between the up-and-coming writer and the industry to better serve both parties. For the writer, their material could be reviewed by an impartial third party, while the busy executive could receive quality projects via a much-needed filter. In 2000, Script P.I.M.P. (Pipeline Into Motion Pictures) was formed, and has since offered coverage services, annual writing competitions, and the Writers Database, a composite directory of production companies, agencies, and managers looking for new material.  The company later changed its name to "Script Pipeline" in 2010.

In the last several years, Chadwick has been instrumental in linking writers with proper representation and production contacts, such as Robert Nelms on the film Between (2005).  He played a vital role in the funding of two independent features, The Living Wake (2007), which garnered Script Chadwick Clough PicPipeline's first production company credit, and Operation Endgame (2010). Chadwick served as producer on the Mike O'Connell/Jesse Eisenberg Wake and executive producer on the ensemble cast Rogues, a project originally submitted through Script Pipeline's Writers Workshop and later produced on a near $5m budget. Script Pipeline has also served as a creative consultant on other independent films produced in recent years.

Beyond running Script Pipeline, Chadwick wrote Creative Screenwriting's "Production Spotlight" article for six years.  He has led seminars at the Screenwriting Expo in Los Angeles, lectured on screenwriting and entrepreneurship at the University of Southern California and UCLA, acted as a USC mentor, and has taken part in the Big Brothers LA mentorship program for the past eight years. 

Through the "Circus of Joy" at the Hollywood Improv and other venues, Chadwick has promoted comedy shows across Los Angeles, which in the past have featured Drew Carey, Louis C.K., Daniel Tosh, Natasha Leggero, Chris Fairbanks, Mike O'Connell, Brian Keith Etheridge, Chris Spencer, Henry Phillips, and actor/comic Craig Robinson ("The Office").  In 2009, Circus of Joy was rated one of the top monthly comedy shows in Los Angeles by LA Weekly.  To view some of the comics: Past Circus of Joy shows.

Over the past decade, Chadwick's goal has remained the same: to assist the budding writer with an array of resources on how to improve their craft and give those deserving of a chance the exposure they need in a highly competitive marketplace.
