About Bob

Bob McCullough has nearly 300 produced film and television credits.

While continuing to develop and write across the evolving media landscape for both independent and major studio producers, Bob co-founded The Los Angeles International Screenplay Awards. Located in the heart of Hollywood's film and television industry, it's considered the best screenplay competition in the business, with an exclusive Judging Panel of established Hollywood Industry Professionals, industry-leading screenplay analysis and 1-to1 coaching, substantial cash prizes, and direct contact with working producers, agents, and directors.

In 2020, Bob's wife Suzanne Herrera-McCullough founded The Wiki Screenplay Contest ("the world's fastest screenplay contest") providing the industry's #1-ranked analysis with fully transparent scoring and connections directly with Hollywood's leading literary managers and agents for all winners and selected finalists. Uniquely, The Wiki Contest encourages writers to enter just the first 10 pages of any script--always the most important pages--for complete contest results and a wide assortment of prizes EVERY 30 DAYS.

To provide aspiring screenwriters with the best chance of success in a challenging business, Bob recently published "Stop Screwing Around and Write a Screenplay that Sells" and the ultimate guide to the world of screenplay competitions "Stop Screwing Around and WIN Your Next Screenplay Contest." Both are brief, bottom-line guides to the fast track of screenwriting success and available on Amazon in hard copy and ebook formats.

With his wife Suzanne Herrrera-McCullough, Bob is the co-author of "Where Hollywood Hides: Celebrities in Paradise" and the co-host of the popular celebrity-focused podcast series "Where Hollywood Hides" on iTunes.

Bob is a frequent speaker on screenwriting techniques and entertainment industry career strategies and is often called upon as a script doctor and ghostwriter.

Pacific Blue (1996)
Television (Action, Crime, Drama and Thriller) Writer This flashy cop series is all about the bicycle patrol of the Santa Monica Police Department, in which the officers and their flashy equipment are as young and casual as their work area, mainly the beach, and as agile and well-trained on their bikes as traditional mounted police on horseback. The bulk of their work is prevention and petty crime, such as pickpockets and purse-snatchers, but of course the more spectacular atypical cases, often one-offs, sometimes even involving the FBI, get extra attention. No less attention is paid to the relationships between all these hotshots (some change during the series), young and ambitious, sexy and horny, so there's lots of temptation, amorous and professional rivalry, conflicting personal and professional interests. Of course this causes most worries for their commanding Lieutenant, usually the one who has to deal with the regular hierarchy above him, originally Anthony Palermo, later on the very former rookie who long gave him most cause for...
