Dear friends, filmmakers, and followers, We began this small company with big ideas in late 2019, not knowing what the future held for the entertainment industry. These last five years have been the stuff of a badly written action movie: a pandemic, labor strikes, production downturns, plus wildfires, tornadoes, cyclones, and hurricanes. As we've previously stated, these events have been game changers for many, both personally and professionally, ourselves included. We honestly thought we'd be done, especially with certain personal life situations: this year we've had two deaths and moved a relative diagnosed with Alzheimer's into our home. As many of you ...

Dear friends and colleagues,We sincerely appreciate each and every collaboration and connection on our journey thus far in the entertainment and publishing industries. As previously announced, we stepped away from publishing last year, but we are continuing as screenwriters and producers.Currently, we are busy working on our own projects. We are collaborating with industry partners in finance, production, and distribution.Team Hyenas is not accepting submissions, nor do we have plans to do so in the immediate future. We are no longer providing writer services such as script feedback or coverage. We hope to announce forward movement on our projects ...

Dear friends, authors, supporters, and followers, Since we began in late 2019, we've weathered unprecedented and historic events--a pandemic and labor strikes called by WGA and SAG-AFTRA. These events have been game changers for many, both personally and professionally, ourselves included. It has been an enormous, expensive undertaking to try to pivot with every curveball we've had thrown at our small business, while summoning the energy and endurance for our personal life obligations.Team Hyenas is in the process of regrouping and streamlining in alignment with our original vision and purpose, and to that end, we've transferred ownership of our publishing ...
