Craig James Pietrowiak, the visionary founder of the International Screenwriters' Association, is a multi-talented award-winning writer, director, and producer who hails from the north side of Chicago. With a degree in entrepreneurial management from Northern Illinois University, Pietrowiak's early film career was marked by the production of numerous award-winning short films, including the critically acclaimed Contract Killers and Karma Café, as well as a few independent feature films.
However, it was his TV pilot Wrigleyville that truly catapulted him to the spotlight, catching the attention of a major Hollywood agency and subsequently securing literary representation, which led to his relocation to Los Angeles. As a screenwriter, Pietrowiak soon discovered the challenges of finding reliable resources to hone his craft, which ultimately inspired him to establish the International Screenwriters' Association.
The ISA's mission is to provide a platform for screenwriters to access the tools and connections necessary to break into the industry and launch their careers. Under Pietrowiak's leadership, the organization has grown significantly, with a focus on expanding its international membership and promoting the work of its talented community. In addition to his work with the ISA, Pietrowiak continues to pursue his passion for filmmaking and acting, solidifying his reputation as a talented and dedicated professional in the entertainment industry.
