MANAGER

Written By Haunting The Better

I've written eight scripts, and I've reached the point where I need someone in my corner who isn't me.

The work is the part I love, and I'll keep writing whether anyone calls back or not. But there's a moment in any screenwriting career where the bottleneck stops being "do I have material" and starts being "who's reading it." I have material. What I need now is access.

So I'm looking for a manager.

Specifically: someone who'll help me find the right agent, who reads the scripts and gets what I'm trying to do, and who can identify actual paths to sale or production — producers looking for what I'm writing, companies with a gap my work fills, financiers when the studio path doesn't fit. The translation work between "this script exists" and "this script is getting made."

What I bring: a real catalog across thriller, drama, and dark comedy. Recurring characters across multiple projects. A point of view shaped by Pittsburgh, PA, and Charleston, SC. And a pace that suggests I'm not going anywhere — the next script is already in progress.

If that sounds like you, or like someone you know, I'd love to talk.

Haunting The Better

Hill Rossin is an Independent writer, director, and producer with three decades of self-directed work across thriller, drama, and dark comedy. His filmmaking career started early; in high school, he took a college film course at Pittsburgh Filmmakers. In the summer of 1992, he shot his first 8mm film — a music video for Sonic Youth's "Sugar Kane," from their then-new album Dirty — for a contest on MTV's 120 Minutes. Although he didn't win, the project helped him get into film school. He studied at the College of Santa Fe and later trained again at Pittsburgh Filmmakers, gaining comprehensive skills in writing, directing, producing, cinematography, editing, and sound.

He founded Haunting The Better in 1996 and moved to Charleston, South Carolina, in 1998, where the company is now based. Through it, he develops original feature screenplays and no-budget narrative films, and in the 2000s he directed two features, As He Fired Up the Drum Machine and Hey Android. Over thirty years, his work returns to the same concerns — place, voice, and the dark humor of ordinary life — shaped by roots in western Pennsylvania and a sensibility in which violence and tenderness sit at the same table.
