Congratulations to our final four writers, we can’t wait to read your work!

FILM SCOUT LEADERBOARD

The judge of a scout isn’t what they like or don’t like – it’s how good they are at predicting what a broader audience will like. One of the goals of our FILM SCOUT program is to identify members of the Legion M community with exceptional scouting abilities, and give them opportunities to put them to use for the benefit of the company. See how you stacked up by checking out the Leaderboard below:

Note that while the ISA competition didn’t have enough matchups to be an Elite Scout Qualifier, it was a great tune-up for the next one that will – Fantastic Fest Is Coming Soon!

Happy Scouting
